Hey, just wondering if anyone else has had this prob., or if anyone has any suggestions. I've got a 98 Tib, and the dash lights go out after about 10 minutes of car running. It's not the dimmer switch, I tried a different one, and it can't be the fuse because they work for awhile. My husband thought it could be the headlight switch, but we were driving with the lights off today, and when he turned them on after we had been driving for about 15 min., the dash lights didn't come on. The other lights ( engine light, brights, etc.) keep working though. I figure something getsheated up, and thats when they stop working. A pain in the butt for early morning and night driving! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to have to take it to the dealer, they always over charge! LOL
Thanx,
Stacey

 

Is it the entire dash or just the speedometer cluster? If its just the speedometer cluster, its not hard to change them out and they are pretty easy to find. If its the entire dash, it could be a bad harness and i'm sure thats a lot more work. see if anyone else has some suggestions.
Heres a speedometer cluster i found on ebay,

Thanx for your input. It is the whole dash, it's the cluster, and the other back lighting... behind the heat etc. *****. The only thing is that the check engine, seat belt, parking break, etc. lights work. Sounds like electrical problems to me???? I dunno
