Non-working dash lights: 1965 Mustang.

Aug 12, 2003 2 Replies

Hi!



I have a '65 convertible with faulty dash lights (64 1/2 actually)



I have replaced the fuse (it was burned when I got the car, but the new one has held up). I have replaced the headlight switch to no avail. All bulbs seem to be OK on the instrument panel and as far as I know, there are no other electrical problems.



It's probably worth noting the instrument panel is a 1966 panel. I'm guessing this was swapped out because someone has changed (what would have been) the generator for an alternator. Who knows.



Either way, I'm stuck: where would you look? Would it be stupid to jump the instrument panel lights to the proper lead from the headlight switch?



Any advice is welcome.



Thanks.

No, the radio lights aren't working either (now that you mention it).

That's why I mentioned it. I have no idea either way. You'd think someone would have wanted dash lights at some point in the past though.

Be patient here: are you saying the fuse panel is BEFORE the dimmer switch?

Thanks again.
