OK folks, it's time to come clean... I appreciate all the rapid and thorough responses, and was about to start acting on them yesterday, but I figured I'd double check the owner's manual first. Good thing I did, since I obviously didn't check it carefully enough the first time on a snowy day in the Schuck's parking lot to realize that the (unnumbered) instrument light fuse is hidden away above the main row of fuses, and can only be accessed by unscrewing the main fuse plate. Sure enough the fuse was blown. How embarrassing! Nonetheless, I'm relieved that that was extent of the problem. I hope I'm not forever branded as "the idiot who can't read his owner's manual" Perhaps I'll need to resort to an alias for all future posts... Thanks for all the good advice, Andrew correction: 1986 Weekender with 260k miles (obviously not all by me or I would have found the fuse sooner). --- A Abian <amabian@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hey folks, > > All of my dashboard lights are out, including the > light for the radio.
