E-350,E-450, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, Excursion?

Which fuse numbers did you check? Did you check to make there was power at the fuse with the lights on?

Re: no dash lights Sign In

Do the radio and climate control illuminate and dim with the dimmer switch?

Re: no dash lights Sign In

Then you likely have a bad dimmer control. It works on pulse Width modulation. I believe it's part of the main headlight switch anyway. If it is sold separately, verify it's getting power from the switch on the brown wire.

Re: no dash lights Sign In

No, you don't want to do that. That dimmer control sends out Pulse width Modulation at lower voltage. That system is not designed to run on constant 12v. That could be a very expensive shortcut.

Hope he doesn't take out the dash cluster or other LCD.
