99 ranger lights out

[hbwill]

Just got a 99 ranger and the dash lights are all out. Does anyone know where I can find a wiring or fuse box diagram online?

Did ya check fuses in the cab?

PM me your e-mail address and I can send 2000 info, should be the same.


Heater control, radio, etc all not lit?

Just put in your pertinent info here and download a .pdf owners manual. Also just to make sure someone hasn't played a stupid practical joke jammed your dimmer down, right?

Thanks MountainMike! I see the diagram in there - just what I needed.

No problem! Good luck.

ALL of your dash lights? Sounds like an electrical problem - they don't all go out at once.

I'd be willing to bet you have a short, or a fuse is blown that doesn't look like it. You did check the fuse under the hood and in the cabin? Pull any fuse that has ANYTHING to do with lights. Mine did this too, as well as my brake lights (my tail lights worked, just not when brakes pushed) and running lights also didn't work. Was a fuse. Didn't look blown.

stupid reply, but it's happened before: did you check the brightness control knob?

The warning-type lights in the panel all work - it's only the panel lights that don't. I went through all the fuses and they look ok, but I'll go ahead and change out all the light ones one at a time as you suggest.

Yep, checked that first (that one did get me before on another car, though).
