I noticed yesterday the dash lights are out....I haven't checked any fuses yet and this happened after a severely heavy spell off rain, soooo...
I can twist the **** and get the inside lights to come on....are the dash lights on a separate fuse??

In my '72 the dash lights are on a separate fuse. I know that it was a small amp fuse and hard to tell that it was blown until I removed it
