Sounds like 2 diff problems. For dash lights I'd check fuse panel, assuming every thing behind dash cluster is plugged in and bulbs ok. Electrical problems can drive people crazy but not that hard to sort on older cars, just take your time.

Hi,

Thanks for the help. The break light switch had mettle shavings in it from a dash repair. I replaced the switch and kept the old one as I think I can clean it up. Now I have no instrument backlight. Light switch smoked but dint blow a fuse.
