Ford Mustang: Non-working dash lights: 1965 Mustang.

Hi!

I have a '65 convertible with faulty dash lights (64 1/2 actually)

I have replaced the fuse (it was burned when I got the car, but the new one
has held up). I have replaced the headlight switch to no avail. All bulbs
seem to be OK on the instrument panel and as far as I know, there are no
other electrical problems.

It's probably worth noting the instrument panel is a 1966 panel. I'm
guessing this was swapped out because someone has changed (what would have
been) the generator for an alternator. Who knows.

Either way, I'm stuck: where would you look? Would it be stupid to jump
the instrument panel lights to the proper lead from the headlight switch?

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks.

You can try jumping it to the switch. Just make sure you have a good fuse
inline. Worst case is you will blow the fuse. What you will probaly need is
a voltmeter. Doest have to be an expensive one. A an electrical digram. Make
sure you have your 12V to the light switch. And also 12V to your fuse. The
reason the other one is probaly holding up is because it doesnt have voltage
to it. Its probaly and easy problem if you have a manual with the digram and
a voltmeter. If you cant follow the digram get someone to help you.
