So as some of you may know I got in a front end collision a cpl wks back (truck going into the shop next week) and since then my dash lights are not working.

I was at the dealer today and they told me there is not a specific fuse or relay for that. Is this true? If not (and i'm guessing there at least has to be a fuse)...

a. which fuse is it and its location?
b. is there a relay? if so, again, location and which one?

i looked at all the wires thinking it might be a pinched or stripped wire somewhere causing this but could not find any.

c. any other suggestions/things to look at and check???

it not only bums me out to have something not working but its a pain to drive at night!

thank you, Peter

Pull open your panel by your feet (down to the left of the wheel) and pull all the fuses and check them.

Sometimes WIERD things run thru fuses that your like, why the hell?

Like my speedometer didn't work when my dome light fuse was out...

i'll try that, thanks

Is the marker lights working? If so, check out the rheostat.

michalik_piotr

both turn signals work, one of the corner marker lights is missing so the wires are just dangling (but not touching). could that be it?

and, "rheostat"?

When you say 'dash lights' do you mean the lights for your instrument cluster or the lighting for your a/c panel? The instrument lights should run thru your park light fuse. If your parking lites dont work, check that. If you got hit in the rear, if you have the tow package with the trailer harness, it could have been damaged and shorted out that fuse

damage is to the front. i mean both the cluster (ie: speedo and tach lighting) and ac/cd player buttons.........

I would just make sure nothing got knocked loose or shorted out by the batt and fuse blocks under the hood or under the dash. Start with the easy stuff

ah! problem solved! 10amp fuse was the culprit! thanks guys!
