Gauge lights not working.

[Hiitman]

For a few months my gauge and knob lights have been dimming off and on. Today on my way to work they cut out. My turn signal lights, CEL light ect are still working. Is there a relay that might be affecting this?

I would first check your fuse. second I would suspect the relay and or the dimmer switch

i had a similar problem on my 97 the dimmer switch shorted and blew all my dash lights. i would look into it pull the bulbs and see if they are blown. but of course check the obvious first fuses . but with them flickering before hand i would lean towards the dimmer switch

+1 to that. I would definetly open that fuse box and check all of the fuses and make sure that everything is good. Anytime that my family has issues with electrical problems the first thing we check is always the fuses. That USUALLY, but not always fixes the problem.

if they were flickering at first, id check the dimmer switch. but go ahead with the fuses first since its easiest to check. but worst case scenario, the dimmer shorted out blowing your bulbs too

Problem solved. Bad alternator.

My buddy had the same thing happen to him and it was the light switch on the the blinker lever.
