Dash lights will not come on. If this is a fuse problem, could you tell me where it is located?

check your dash light fuse. It is called an instrument cluster light fuse.
your ford parts department will tell you the location of your fuse box and what the symbol for the dash light fuse looks like.

Look for fuse panel under or either side of dash. Another location may be similar in engine bay.
Fuses probably labelled. Available at motor shops, garages etc.
If out of your experience then probably not expensive to ask auto electrician where to look. Many are cooperative and may tell over the phone or counter.

IT WILL TELL YOU WHICH FUSE IS WHAT WHEN LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AND TURN THE COVER OVER OFF THE BIG BLACK FUSE BOX NEXT TO THE BATTERY AND IT WILL SHOE YOU WHERE IT,S LOCATED

most likely a blown tail light fuse. look under dash on drivers side for fuse panel. if the top covers gone that tells you location of fuse, you may have to pull them all one at a time to find the blown one. you may be lucky and have an owners manual in glove box if so, then it will have fuse location in that manual. hope this helps and thank you for choosing fixya.com

I had the same problem with my truck(200 f150)The fuse is located on driver side under dash.Remove little plastic cover and look for burned fuse.The owner manual tells you what one it is.If you dont have it write back and I will go check what number it is.

Well for starters there is one fuse that controls all the dash lights. So you might have a burnout bulb under the dash. Check the fuses but I'm telling you now it's a bulb

Thank you so much Twobrandsam. Was having the same problem and could not find it until I read your comment about "Small lights fuse." you saved me a lot of headache. Thanks for sharing your solution.

Locate the dash illimunation lights by locating the fuse box and locating the fuse for the dash illumination lights or lights. There you can hook 'taps' into the fuse box to get current from that circuit.

On the 1998 Pathfinder, the fuse that powers the park lights and dash lights is located under the hood on the passenger side in the fuse/relay box. It is a 10 amp fuse #61. Test ALL fuses in the fuse box and make sure there are no missing fuses.

maybe but sounds like a couple of lights have burned out,. the owners manual should tell you where the fuse box is located. The dash light for the odometer/gear indicator may be accessible from under the dash, get an auto maintance repair manual from the local auto parts store , perfably a chiltons for about 20.00. It will help u loctae the dash lights and the fuse box more readily.
