I have a 1994 GT .ok so my dash lights wont come on when i turn my headlights on. so i checked the switch and harness. the harness was burnt(common problem i hear). so i pulled one off another mustang, twisted the correct wires together after splicing, pluged the harness back into the headlight switch and turned on the headlights. headlights, corner llights, and fog lights all work.. but the dash still wont light up. i've still yet to check the bulbs in the dash.. could that be it or what. i've check fuse #13 which is the ilumination fuse for the dash. idk what else could be wrong. i want to be able to se my gauges at night!!.. im startin to go a little crazy lol.... can someone please tell me whats wrong. any ideas, thoughts, or knowledge helps. thank you.

I really don't think it's the bulbs. Chances of all going out at the same time is not likely. Maybe the switch is bad. The dimmer mechanism might be dirty or just faulty

Did you jump parking-light power to the dimmer-circuit to benchtest the dimmer circuit's bulbs and function?
