Fellow Ford owners! Help me please!

When I turn my headlight switch on at night I don't have a dash light and both blinkers are solidly lit. Everything works, I can't see my dash at night. The book says maybe a bulb is out. I've checked and rechecked and it apears that all my bulbs are ok. Any idea's?

Bad ground maybe? I've seen where you have a park/brake light assembly and you get a bad ground it can give you freaky outcomes.

Iam experiancing the same problem with 01 taurus--both blinker lights staying on and no dash lights although blinkers work fine but no dash lights ckd ground cable seems ok-my car does it intermintly--usually once every 2 months or so usually last a few hours then goes back to normal--?????????

Same thing with my 2002 Taurus SEL. Outside car lights are all fine just inside black except for solid lit delt signal lights. I drive about 50 km and poof all dash lights come on again. This usually happens when wet, raining, snow or basically too much water around so there must be a short somewhere. The lights come on only after driving awhile and the car "drys out". Again not a master mechanic!

my 2002 ses does the same thing, it was only every once in a while, but now it is all the time. Did anyone get it fixed????????? Drives me crazy!! Especially at night, i can't tell how fast i'm going, i have to turn on the over head. ANNOYING

We have the answer...finally! Problem was within the Cluster Grid...need to replace faulty printed circuit Part # F01F1Z-10K843-AA and part price is about $30.00 US and labor is $150.00 US rated at 2 hours cause of dash set up and inaccessable location designed to keep mechanics employed & part of the greater Ford conspiracy to get everyone to pay for their car twice.

I have 02 Taurus SEL,same problem, but intermittant.
Initially I had planned to replace headlight/dimmer switch, but after a few
days mine came back on.been OK since.
My research found there may be a loose pin on wiring connector to
printed circuit at rear of instrument cluster.

that fixed my car! thanks so much! though the $150 estimate of time was a little much in my case. The mechanic had the whole thing done in 45 min (previous master mechanic of ford :icon16: ) so it is possable to get it done quicker if you shop around! tip for all of yall who want to go the mechanic route vs. the do it yourself way.
