A couple of years ago I posted a problem with my 72 Mach 1. Back then the grille lights & the gauge lights were dead.
Since then I got the grille lights fixed (new headlight switch). The gauge lights are still dead. In the owners manual it shows the gauge lights being on fuse # 3 (a short 4 amp fuse) along with the wipers, lighter, heater switch & radio which all work.
Back in high school I had a 72 sports roof sprint, it had the same issue. If I'm not mistaken, starting in 71 Ford went to the circuit board style connections for the gauges. The gauges all work it's just their lights that are dead. Any ideas of things to check would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith
P.S.
I've already tryed different positions on the heagdlight switch reostat.
