head lights, parking lights??????
the dash lamps are usually on the park light circuit.
check parking lamps.
check fuses first.
next time say what dash lamps means.
there are a huge number of lamps on the dash
warning lights.
displays
dash parking lamps (back ground glowing for night usage)
called dial lights.
say exactly the lamp that is dead and what it does.
the dash dial lights on all cars have a dimmer control
turn it up,. and bingo the dials glow.
If all your lite bulbs are out, or don't work as you say in your dash, there is normally only two places this can be. Number one, make sure that your dimmer for your dash did not get accidentally turned off. Meaning a lot of cars and trucks as you know, you can turn down or turn up the brightness of your dash lights by a couple methods. Some have like a dial on there dash area, to turn, or some are on the actual light switch that turns. If this is all on and working good, then the only other place it normally would be is a fuse. And that should me marked as dash lights and in your fuse panel. Check in your operation manual for location of fuse box. Or if you know where this is, then open up and look for a fuse that would say, dash lights or interior lights. I hope this helps. MIke
Are we talking about the green light that illuminates when you switch your exterior lights on? If so this will be a bulb blown in the dash, as you say your lights work, just not your dash light. Its an easy fix, just pop the dash forward a little and you get access to the bulbs.
You say it is not the battery, so I will assume that it is either new or you had it load tested. When you say the light on the dash light up do you mean all the dash lights, radio, and head light works? If there is no cranking it is most likely the starter is bad.
There is a small button on the gear shifter. This is the OverDrive switch. When the button is depressed "IN", the overdrive system is active, and the light on the dash is off. When the button is OUT, the overdrive system is de-activated, and the light on the dash is illuminated. The OverDrive is basically the final shift of the transmission, which gives you maximum fuel economy. When the light on the dash is ON, the OD is "OFF", the transmission will not make its final shift, and will lower your fuel economy. It is best to leave the button IN, and have the OD system active. Hope this helps, and Thanks for Choosing FixYa. The graciousness of a "FixYa" rating for my solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for allowing me to help you with your issue.
