I assume you checked the fuses? On many vehicles back in the day if the taillight fuse blew it killed the dash lights as an "indicator." I know on a couple vehicles I had the fuse that was blown was not the one you thought it would be...

I was a mechanic for years and I know how easy it is to miss the obvious. So I dont wanna assume anything, I always start with the basics.

yep shure did that was the first thing i did - next i ran a ground in the trunk to the tail light houseing,s and cleaned the ground by the battery and where it mounts beside the rad = that grounds the wireing for the front :dontknow:

my dimmer switch was bad,that is why my dash lights did not work.Did you check your fuse on both sides with a light?Did you check the power at your headlight switch with it still hooked up?

start tracing the power from source through the switches & bulkhead plugs headlights are nto fused but the rest are , dash lights go through the dimmer switch & I would bet that is the problem there , you can just run a jumper from the wire in to the wire out to fix that , most people run the dash lights at full power anyway
