Re: Just as an FYI, I was looking for info on how to replace the lights in my instrument panel
That sounds more an more like what I had - works for a while, then decides
to go AWOL util it just feels like working again. Part of what I saw makes
me think that this is pretty much a case of corroded connections behind the
panel (located under the dash on the firewall above and left of the clutch
pedal where it's easy to hit with your foot if your feet are as big as
mine<g>). The wiring diagram shows that the emergency flashers and the
brake lights are powered by two wires that connect to the brake fuse. I
had one of those wires hot, one dead so there had to be a connection
problem there somewhere. If you ever have a clutch master go out, it will
leak right down on the fuse block and cause all sorts of grief -
eventually.
I'm like you - Ocam's razor says dimmer rheostat. But cleaning up the fuse
block is cheap and easy as a second step. BTW, I did replace all my
instrument bulbs when I first got the truck. One or two were out, but the
rest were so silvered that I doubt half the light was getting out anyway.
Just don't lose the lamp holders - those suckers can be a pain to find!

CRC and a small wire brush work really great.
Don't use the brush on any metal that's coated though.

Just as a followup on this, my clutch master DOES have a slight leak (I'll
be monitoring fluid levels before I go replacing it), and it is leaking
directly on the fuse box. After pulling out the top fuses and cleaning
them, my lights are back. If nothing else, I may try putting something in
place between the clutch lever and fuse box to try to divert any drips.
