Re: 02 taurus dashlights

Are you sure that the dimmer switch is not turned all the way?

Since a meter or test light has been used to test the switches to make sure you have power going to the light sockets, that would leave only the ground connections to be checked.

Re: 02 taurus dashlights

By dash lights do you mean only the instrument cluster, or is the switch backlighting for the climate control and radio as well as the radio display also dim?

There have been a few threads in this forum related to issues with the flex cable in the instrument cluster going bad. You may want to search the forum for more details and potential fixes.
