Hello Everyone, I am new here and just got my Ranger. I wasn't sure if I would like it and basically needed cheap transportation and my choices were very limited. She has grown on me and I want to get her into tip top shape. I have a problem I can't figure out: My dash lights died recently. I picked up some fuses and went to replace the faulty one. I couldn't find any blown. Then I noticed that the gauges on the instrument cluster don't work except for the speedometer which is cable driven. The truck runs fine, everything works, just no gauges or dash lights. I checked the fuses under the hood near the battery, they all are good. I took the dash and steering column apart looking for a pinched wire or something shorting out. Nothing there. I just bought this truck and know nothing about it. When they worked, the dash lights were set to pretty dim and I turned the switch to brighten them. I also used the dimmer switch for the headlights around the time of failure. I was sure the problem was related to the ignition switch and replaced it with no change. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong? The more I think about it, the dash died when I flashed my high beams, I think 
. Could the problem be in the switch? I bought a Haynes manual but the wiring diagrams have been less than helpful. Thanks.
