How do you fix instrument panel lights?

In: Car Fuses and Wiring, Dodge Ram, Jeep Cherokee [Edit categories]

Answer:

Instrument panel lights

They are on a fuse, however if the fuse goes all the instrument lights quit and usually your dome light. You have to pull the cover off on your panel. Most likely it is Phillips head screws or torx head like a T-20. You pull all those little screws off around the underside of the dash and down around your steering wheel sometimes it may also go around your the bottom side of the steering wheel just above your feet. The light generally just push in place in the socket. Auto zone or maybe even walmart may have the bulbs.

2000 Chevy S-10 Ext cab Pickup. ... During day I have lights on my radio. (daytime running lamps are on)

when it gets dark and my headlights and tail lights come on fully i have NO Instruments lights and I loose the lighting on my radio.. I have checked a number of different fuses. where else can i look to fix this problem? could it be a bad relay? someone please help.

for the daytime/night time light problem, it could be something as simple as the dimmer switch. the reason you see the lights during the day is because the lamp switch is off, but once you turn it on, the dimmer may need to be turned up
