Make sure the dash dimmer control is set at the bright position, then using a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe BOTH sides of the INST LPS fuse.

If there is no power both sides check for power on the
orange wire at the headlight switch.

Then check for power on the
dark green wire at the headlight switch.

Is there power on both wires?


Happy Racing!

I agree, when I fired up my old 1987 I was unnerved at how dim the interior was at night.
