Hi all,
I have a 2002 f150 supercab...I am having a problem with the instrument cluster panel not illuminating (usually they illuminate when I turned on my head lights). I checked the fuse that runs the cluster panel thinking it was the problem and changed it a few times...But the fuse kept blowing out. Can you please help me with my problem... THanks in advance! -KARL-

 

if you keep blowing fuses there's a short someplace, did anything get spilled on the dash lately?

 

you only specified the cluster not illuminating. can i assume from this that your headlights do come on and stay on?

if that is the case and your headlights illuminate while the cluster does not, i would suspect the dimmer switch. try disconnecting the dimmer switch from the harness and seeing if the problem still occurs. and while your in there you may want to check from worn out/cracked/rubbing wires that could be causing the problem.

 

Yes, the cluster does not illuminate, however, the headlights do come on and stay on... Any pictures or directions on how to gain access into the dimmer switch harness?

 

I did not spill anything on the dash...

 

the dimmer switch and headlight **** are held in by the same piece. gently pry it out and unplug the wires from the dimmer switch.
