Hi folks! I have googled this issue without much success.
Our 1997 Ford Explorer has now lost illumination to the headlight switch, gas gauge, lower half of the temperature gauge, turn signal stalk, and left-side steering wheel cruise control on/off switches. A left-sided burn out! The instrument cluster dimmer control wheel and left-sided power mirror controls are also not lit (although some have suggested they are not illuminated anyway).
The turn signal stalk, fuel gauge, and temp gauge lights are a recent burnout. The headlight switch and cruise control lights have been burnt out for years. I thought I'd try to fix all at the same time if I have to start tearing the dash apart.
Anyone have any experience with this problem? A specific culprit fuse? Relay? Individual bulbs?
Thanks for any and all help.
