Anyone had any problems with their gauge lights? On my speedo, only 60-80mph is still lit. The rest of the gauge has gone dim. It looks like the lights behind the gauge either backed out or burnt out. Any advice on how to fix it? I know how to take my whole dash off but I've never taken apart the instrument cluster. Thanks!

Did you ever figure anything out on how to fix the dash lights?? My Instrument panel and temp controls are all blacked out now. Gauge light, seatbelt light, hi beam, and all gauges work, just no light behind the gauges. If anyone else has any idea, let me know. I have a 2002 1500 Quad Cab 4.7.

I unplugged the battery overnight, and the next day the lights worked. I guess if you unplug the battery for an extended period of time it resets the computer in the truck. Don't know if that will work for anyone else but it worked for me.

thats weird that just unhooking the battery worked... at least it was a simple fix, hopefully it lasts!
