    I've been doing a lot of work on my truck lately and I noticed my dash lights wouldn't turn on today. Last thing I did was remove and service my interior blower fan. Is this something simple as a fuse? It's all the lights behind the dash cluster and temp controls. AC, Re-circ, Brights and other indicator lights still work.

    I'm kinda hoping the bulbs shorted because I've been thinking about replacing them with LED's but a fuse is cheaper.:pray:

    If i recall correctly the fuse for these lights will be a 10 amp (red) second one down in the middle column by the drivers left knee. It is a pain to do a LED swap but worth it IMO i will be doing a small write up on the AC control lights... i used led strips from autozone because no one seems to make the right size for those.

    here are some links that might help
