so i checked the fuse slot 13 (must be unlucky 13) its deff blown didnt put a new one in yet but im hoping its it

 

so it was the fuse i cant believe i over looked that ohh well at least i got a nice new dimmer switch that i didn't need thanx for all your help

 

cool u got it. i noticed the power goes through the headlight switch then the dimmer switch and then the fuse and to the dash lights from there. u got the dash cleaned up to. lol.

 

on my 97 z28 its fuse 16 also check the fuse panel because all of the terminal in the fuse box where had all corrosion on them cleaned them up and fixed the problem

 

way to pick up the year old thread

 

Why does it matter how old I was having the same problem and did a search it came up with plenty of threads but no one answered what they did to correct the problem so I put down what the fix was for me so if the next person having this problem might have an answer am I hurting anyone by bringing back an old thread no so why even say anything

 

solutions are good, thanks mab.
