Dash Lights

[danich95]

I just bought a 96 F250 and the instrument panel lights don't work. Checked the fuses and didn't see anything wrong. What's the next step here?

Does rotating the main light switch get them to come on, even intermittently? The dimmer portion of the main switch may be toast. Cheers!

Any other lights out?

Could have a full set of burnt out dash lights.

Unlikely

Don't laugh, I've seen it.

I had all but 2 or 3 burnt out on mine when i bought it, including the lights behind the AC controls. You can buy a 10 pack of the 194 bulbs from Napa.

Get 168 bulbs...same size as the 194s but brighter. Get the bulbs from an electrical supply house..much cheaper than the auto parts store.

The 168s are twice as powerful as the 194s. Replace the whole bunch while you are at it since its a bit of a chore pulling out the instrument panel.

There are thousands of listings on ebay:
