I have a '67 Camaro rs. All the dash lights have been in good working order. I replaced all the lamps when I replaced the lens this summer. I pulled out the light switch recently and no dash lights. I have not had time to check the fuse box or anything yet. Any other causes for this ? Dan

Dan, I'm not sure,(my car is at the body shop) but I believe your light switch is also a dimmer for your dash lights, you might want to start there. try turning the knob left or right. Good luck...Mike

If all the outside running lights are working, chances are that it is not the headlight switch. The same input 12 volts for the running lights provides power to the dash lights. First place to look is at the fuse block. There is a short fuse at the bottom center of the fuse block. This is the dash lamp fuse. Check to see if it is good and the fuse clips are not corroded. Best way to do this is measure the fuse clips on both sides with a meter. You should have 12 volts on each side to ground if none of the lamps are working. Guessing you won't see it on one side, the side that the dash lamp gray wire goes to.

There is a ground rod in the dash cluster that if it is missing you will have no dash lights in a 67 or 68. If you had the cluster out check & make sure that you reinstalled it & that it is getting good contact thru the screw in the cluster
