Dash Lights October 17, 2006, 12:56:41 PM Ok so i figured out why i have no dash lights. The mechanical oil pressure guage i had was leaking inside the car shorted out my cluster (fixed) but it got down to the dash dimmer on the headlamp switch i can get it for $70 from work here but thats a little steep anyone know if i can repair it or get another one for cheap.PS i already tried all the syards in town they keep crushing all the fox t-birds and cougars they get. Lots of MN12's and stangs tho s. Quote Selected
