no dash lights

blk88lx · 08-21-2001, 11:26 PM

Hi all,

I just replaced the heater core on my 88 LX. Heater core now works good but I have no dash lights. The only things that will light up on the dash is the hi-beam indicator and the blinker indicators. Other than that, I drive in the darkness. Any ideas?

P.S. The fuses are good

88 LX, no mods for now, just trying to keep it running.

Try checking the Dimmer connections. You had to tear apart the dash to get to the heator core right? Maybe a connection or ground got pulled from the dimmer switch.
