Inst panel light not working

[Ron H.]

My C2 (65) has no dash lights :

- Fuel gauge - working
- Heater blower - working
- radio - working
- Panel lights - not working
- courtesy lights - not working
- clock - not working
- turn signals - working
- brake lights - working

I replaced the fuses, none were blown. Since brake lights work, I assume rear ground is good. Courtesy lights dont come on when door is opened, so that should eliminate headlight switch.

Any other suggestions with this combo not working ?

Ron,

I am looking at my 66 manual assume 65's are wired the same

Courtesy, stop and clock are all on the same fused circuit so you may have other issues if you have stop lights but not the others.

re panel lights you say fuses were good. check to see if you are getting continuity thru the fuse clips with a test light. The clips may have corrosion or lost some of the pressure. I had to use a dremel tool on mine to clean up the clips.

Make sure the headlight switch knob is rotated for max brightness of the dash lights. Rotating it until it "clicks" will turn on the courtesy lamps.
