Troubleshooting Dash Lights

[jrhslick]

So, on my "new to me"' 66 Sport Fury I noticed while driving after turning on the headlights there are no lights coming on the dash.
What I have researched so far are
- installed new headlight switch - after spraying Deoxit on the old one to clean the contacts with no result.
- verified all external lights working
- all fuses are good

Where should I go next?

You may need to pull the instrument cluster and check the plug contacts for corrosion. Next, tale a volt meter and check the circuit pathways for cracks. I would also check the fuse contacts for rust, you can have a good fuse that fails to complete the circuit because of corroded contacts.

Uncle Tony's Garage has a good YT video on how to clean those contacts.
