Have you tried turning the switch knob to the left(c.clockwise)?

Do the courtesy lights come on when you turn the knob?(with the doors closed)
Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
(ooops, sorry....lost my train of thought there)


If the fuse is OK, and the courtesy lights come on with the switch, you might have a bad connection on the circuit board for the dash, or maybe a bad circuit board.

Or..........the light fairy came & stole all yer lights!

My fuse just blew on me not too long ago. If your fuse panel is anything like my '77s the interior lights fuse is at the very bottom of the panel and is about half the size of the others.

Never been in a turkish prison but I dated an Icelandic model for 4 years. That was like a turkish prison. My cabin lights work when the doors are open, I'll try them shut. The fuse is ok. An I have NO lights on the dash or gauge panel operational.
So, If the courtesy lights dont come on, the switch is bad?
Thanks!
Yeah it sounds like the switch. Your dash is a bit different than mine, but I think the procedure is almost the same.
After you remove the dash front to access the switch, there is a lever on the back side of the switch that you press down to release the knob from the switch. After you do this you just unscrew it and replace.
