instrument panel lights not working?

Are there any other lights that do not work or just the panel lights. If you can not find any fuse blown check the panel dimmer switch to be sure you have power in and out of it. Here is the fuse location (TBC 2 amp fuse) and a guide to help check the fuse as well.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

it was the fuse thank you this site rocks water back.

I'm trying to find the correct fuse that goes to the instrument cluster, radio/climate control readout and door panel control lights. At night, the entire cab is dark. This sounds like a fuse, but I can't seem to find the correct one. Any suggestions?The next day, this problem seemed to take care of itself. I checked all the fuses and didn't find any bad ones. When I started it up again, everything lit up just fine. Before, all the gauges worked, but nothing was illuminated.

Do the gauges work? I don't know that a fuse will fix it, but 26, 27, and the brown 12 way relay are involved...

Many of the bulbs in my instrument panel and radio are out. Need help with replacement?

They are not bulbs, they are LED's. Really, really small led's. The dealer can remove the instrument cluster and send it back to the company who builds them in Detroit for repairs- takes about four days and they keep the truck because no odometer in it.

If you go on EBay, there are people who refurbishes them. They go through the whole thing. It's only about $65.

Excellent addition to this thread! Please feel free to help out whenever you are on the site :)

Here is a video that shows how to get the cluster out

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Every light on the truck works except the dash lights.

Check the "illum" fuse in the fuse block, lower left side of dash.

Thanks for your answer but it was the switch. but I do have another question, my transmission will only shift to second gear when it try’s to shift into third gear there is nothing. I’m pretty sure it is shot but if you have any ideas let me know. Thanks
