I just went to the store and when I cranked the truck none of the dash lights worked and I know they worked when i last turned it off. The radio and air work, but the lights telling you what they are doing don't work. The light in the mirror switch doesn't work, but the mirrors move. I checked the fuses and all are fine. Also, when I turn the key in the ignition, some of these light blink on for a nanosecond. HELP, Please. Does anyone know what caused this or how to fix it?

Taking my cue from this symptom: maybe a flakey ignition switch? ???

Is it possible the knob got turned and they are just dimmed to dark. I know this is simple, but sometimes the obvious overlooked.

:E:DOH

What a dumbass am I? I don't know how it got turned down, but that was it. Thanks.

I might've figured out how it happened. I went to the carwash today and they had several things readjusted. I guess it's possible they turned it down, but i know the radio and air lights were on during the day after the car wash.

Do not feel bad. I went around for like 2 days without them one time. I checked fuses and other things. Then, my dad suggested that they might be dimmed out. I felt like a big 'ol' loser.
