Default no dash light

Hi been a member a while. First time posting,and I have a problem with my dash lights. All lights work except the dash lights.
The 7.5 fuse is good but no power to fuse, not hot on either side.

I hate electical problems.

The rheostat for controlling the brightness of the dash lights on the headlight switch has probably blown, So replacing the switch should do it.

I think I've got the same problem. My dash lights when trying to adjust the brigthness only worked at one point on the dial, now they don't work at all. I also used to not be able to turn the switch to get the inside lights to come on, but now the insidle lights work, but no dash lights. If I had to choose, I think I'd rather have my dash lights back. oh well, I guess it's time to replace the switch.

Same here. Is there some sort of headlight switch epidemic going on???? Anyway, exactly what do I (or should I say "we") have to dig through to remove/replace the switch?
