Ok, I will send it off.

No, the vanity and dome lights are on a different fuse.

The fuse for the dash light is a 5 amp located on the very top left
under the hazard flasher relay can.

The 'other' fuse for the dash dimmer also controls the tail lights so
the dash lights go out when the tail light fuse blows. This is fuse 5
or a 10 amp top center of the panel fuse.

Oops, that dash light fuse is at the top right, not left, sorry and is

Thanks for your replies (and the e-mail, too). I'll check the fuses first.
That sounds better than pulling the instrument cluster! :) Of couse, then
I'll have to figure out why the fuse blew...

Re: Just as an FYI, I was looking for info on how to replace the lights in my instrument panel
 

Thanks for your replies (and the e-mail, too). I'll check the fuses first.
That sounds better than pulling the instrument cluster! :) Of couse, then
I'll have to figure out why the fuse blew...

Re: Just as an FYI, I was looking for info on how to replace the lights in my instrument panel
 

I have the same problem with my 88 Comanche - to the point of
finishing the last 100 miles of a long trip with a flashlight. I
changed the fuse and it worked for a while then started to being
intermittent again. AHA! corrosion in a connector - but where? In
the past, the simple resolution was the blasted dimmer rheostat on
the light switch but this time the dimmer was fine. I fought it for
quite a while then my emergency flashers quit and the brake lights got
flakey as well. If you look, the brake light and panel light fuses
are right together near the top of the fuse block so that focused
things for me. I took a can of WD-40, covered the floor with rags and
removed the fuses from the top right quadrant of the fuse block,
sprayed the whole thing (soaked it, actually) and used a toothbrush to
scrub the fuse panel as best I could. Inserted and removed the fuses
while it was still wet, then used the air hose to blow everything dry.
The sweet smell of WD-40 was annoying for a few days, but that seems
to have fixed things for a while - no problems for the last several
months. Probably waiting for a snowy, sub-zero day to act up again...


The next step is probably to pull the fuse panel and either replace it
or do a thorough clean up. I don't know about yours, but my fuse
panel could sure use a cover - I keep kicking it somehow and several
fuses always seem to have the plastic tops broken.
