caliplaya650 · 07-19-2001, 01:50 AM

I am having problem turning on my dash lights. Today i found that my dash fuse was being blown b/c they guy i bought it from had a penny and a 25 amp fuse stuck in place of the cigerette lighter!!! I have replaced the fuse in the fuse box and i still dont have any dash lights. Can any one help?
Did my dash lights blow out?

Try wiggling and messing with the dimmer for the dash lights, sometimes those go bad themselves making the dash lights not work at all. Just a thought...

Good luck!

Just a wild shot in the dark, but something that happened to me. Does your mustang have an aftermarket radio? I found my fuse to my dash lights blew when I turned on my headlights because the radio was wired wrong. Something about the hot wire that dimms your radio light when the headlights are turned on, was actually wired as a ground. Probably not your problem, but just something to check out.
