I have a 1991 Ford F150 and the instruments wont illuminate and i was wondering where to start looking for the problem...but the fuse is no blown

 

Wiggle the headlight switch **** as you turn it to see if it's the reostat in the switch.

 

I tried wiggling it but nothing happened so i probably have a wiring problem that i need to find

 

That circuit gets power from the parking light side of the headlight switch. The headlight switch is a common problem with these trucks, and the plug into it has a nasty habit of melting too.

 

u know how to test the switch

 

Check for power in and then check for power out with the switch on.

 

how much a new switch cost anyway

 

I don't remember. I think it was under $20.

 

Ill check it out

 

got the thing fix and it works now...wat really happen was the radio i put in a while back got a wiring diagram that didnt have the exact same colors so i was grounding a power source out on the istruments so thats wat was causing it...i still needed a new switch though the wire spring going around the wheel that dimms it was gone causeing it to not turn on
