No Dash Lights

A few days ago my dash lights would not come on. Been working fine. Checked the fuse, and it was good. Used my test light on the fuse panel, and there is no power at the panel for the instrument lights slot. Im lost on this one! Help please.

Re: No Dash Lights

the firebird/trans ams have a remote dimmer switch jammed up under the dash in the driverside floor pan. I had no dash lights at all except for the seat belt and check engine light until I replaced mine. it was a $43 part that I was only able to get at O'reillys. autozone, advanced, napa, and car quest did not have it.

it is a pretty big pain in the butt to remove and reinstall. its in a very tight place.
