dash board lights out?

ok, check the fuse #23 in the interior fuse panel (below), if they are ok, then the cluster has failed and needs to be replaced here is a guide and a video being changed on a similar car.

What is the fuse thank you!

Nice work, we are here to help, please use 2CarPros anytime.

The instrument panel lights wont come on at night, and I cant figure out which fuse needs to be replaced to make the lights work, (the lights where the speedometer is located)

Hello .. thanks for the donation .. much appreciated Check fuse #16 in underhood fuse box .. also check that the dimmer switch is working correctly !

Taillights, parking lights and dash lights not working None of these are working.

Good morning,

I attached a wiring diagram for you to view. I also attached the fuse box diagram for the location of the fuse.

Verify power to the fuse to be sure power is available.

I have no parking lights, interior lights and dash lights after trying to install radio and connected illumination ground improperly. need to know fuse number and location.

Fuse 16 in the junction box under the hood or fuse 17 in the junction box behind the dash. Depends on if it is early or late production. Both are 15 Amp.

I'm trying fix the dash bored light I found 7 relays under the dash bored I'm trying to find what are those for I Chang the light blob's all . I Chang the cage its still not working I change all the fuse and relays and light how.

there is only a dimmer for the dash lights. if they get power then it may be a bad ground or bad dash. see picalso make sure your dash dimmer switch isn't all theway down.

1999 Ford Explorer Dashboard lights 60% are not lit

Have you checked wiring to the rear of the cluster to see if there is anything loose or disconnected? Also, if you have to replace the bulbs, the cluster needs removed to access them.

The lights for the instrument cluster and heater controls do not come on when the headlights are turned on. I'm thinking it could be the light switch or dimmer switch. can you help me track this problem down?

Hi:
It could be the switch, a bad ground, or a body control module (BCM). Try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes to see if the BCM resets. If not, check under the dash to make sure plugs to the dash are tight. Also, check for disconnected ground straps.

Let me know what you find.

I disconnected the battery and reconnected it, the plugs are all connected properly and, all of the ground straps seem ok.
Lights still don't come on.

Hi, assuming you mean "illumination", not "digital displays", you'll need a wiring diagram (or a like vehicle) and figure out where the circuit's open...likely the "dimming" portion.

Hi:
My guess (not being there) is either the switch is bad or the BCM has malfunctioned. Have the BCM tested at a shop that has the proper test equipment. If it is ok, then chances are it's the switch.

The DashBoard lights are out on a 1997 Ford Explorer Sport 2 Door. I have looked at all the fuses and they are good. Which fuse controls the dashboard lights? How do I replace the Dash Board Lights?

HI
If fuse #7 good then most likely faulty dimmer module left side dash. On module TERM 5 black/red wire should have voltage to power lamps. Do couristy lamps work?
Let me know
Thanks for donate

From maxbear2334, The courtesy light comes on when I turn the dimmer switch to turn it on. I can turn the courtesy light on and off. The dashboard lights do not light up even with the dimmer switch set at maximum brightness. I will check the #7 fuse and also check voltage on the dimmer switch.

I still would like to know how to replace burned out dashboard lights in a 1997 Ford Explorer Sport 2 Door. Thank You, maxbear2334.

what number fuse do you change if the dashboard lights go out?

You need to check fuse #7 in the interior fuse panel here is a guide to help with the fuse location is the diagrams below.

I have no dash lights or tail lights and all fuses are good.

Hello,

There is a tail light relay that needs to be checked. Here is a guide to help you test the relay and the location of the relay as well along with the wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:
