Thanks for the info Kevin, I will keep that in mind.

Hey Joel, I finally got the tester, and it was the fuse.  I forgot to check it when I got the tester, until lastnight when I was just going for a night out on the town with the Vette.

It's the silly stuff that always gets us...


Glad ya got it lit up...enjoy the ride!

When you say interior lights, do you mean just the dome light?

I have found that there is a single ground wire just behind the drivers side ac vent. its a small eye hole connector bolted to part of the metal pillar assembly. It can sometimes get corroded from years of moisture and humidity. Its kind of a PIA to get to especially if you have large hands, but once you find it, unbolt it, clean the contact point with sandpaper or a wire brush and make sure its all clean.

When its reconnected, theres a good chance youll get your dash lights back. I had the same problem and that really did the trick. I also took the cluster out and cleaned all the contacts and replaced all the bulbs, but i didnt think it was needed as all the lamp sockets looked clean and all lamps tested ok. I took the liberty of replacing them with led lamps so i wouldn't have to replace them for a long while.

give it a try.
