My dash lights (including center console and transmission indicator) on my '96 'vert all went out at the same time. The only times they briefly operate, the headlights are not operative, but I am always able to get the headlights back on by cycling the light switch. Any suggestions to help troubleshoot? Could it be the light switch? Something in the DRL circuit? I am a relative newbie at electrical repair--do not even currently own a circuit tester. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

 

sure soundsl like the switch. the dash light controls are in the headlight switch. not that hard to pull the dash to get to it. this is from a 93 book but i think there the same. looks like theres a connection between the two or there one piece.

 

Yep, sounds like the headlight switch.

 

Thanks--I'll give that a shot.

 

Well no luck when I replaced the headlight switch--any other suggestions?

 

check your fuses
