Dash lights

[Bad Moose]

Mine were working just fine and then I went to use them when I needed them and they decide now would be a great time to not work. I haven't dug into them yet but checked the connections and the lower amped fuses.

Any thoughts?

My bad I just got to thinking about this and what I've got which I didn't post.

Carbureted engine, auto meter gauges, and ffr headlight switch.

Simple wiring but I have no schematic so hoping for some guidance.

Sometimes there is an inline fuse between the switch and the gauge lights. Check for that and ground wires. If that all looks good then check to see if you are getting power from the switch. It wouldn't be the first time one of these switches has failed.

Moose - do you mean indicator lights, gauge lights, or all of the above?

[Bad Moose]

I'm sorry, gauge lights.

OK - got it. Do you have a voltmeter? Is it wired to the same power feed as the gauge lights? If so, what is it reading?

Also, do you have courtesy lights that are hooked to the light switch rheostat - i.e., they go on if you turn it all the way to the détente? If so, what happens when you try to turn those on?

I'm guessing it's the switch, but these things will get you thinking along the right lines.
