To clean mine (no rat or mouse nests) of any debris, I removed the cowl vent and vent doors.. I fitted a tube to my blow gun and used 125 lb compressed air from my commercial air compressor to clear out most anything that tries to set up house keeping in any of those nooks and crannies.. |

Re: Help with dash lights
Thats a good idea. Im going to vacuum the heck out of it first then I could give that a try. The lever that broke is the one that connects to the cable that goes to the area of the fan and heater core. Its the one with the fan switch. I think the flap may be jammed up. Im really liking how I can buy all these small parts to actually fix things instead of just replacing whole units.

Re: Help with dash lights
Surprise in the mail today. I really hope I adjusted everything the correct way so this switch doesnt get broken like the original. Check out the price on the box.

Re: Help with dash lights
While i've been doing all this work in the cab all the dirt and grime on the painted surfaces have been bothering me every time I see it so I tried cleaning some of it up and it actually started to turn out nice.

Now my truck's pretty free of rot, but my inner fender washers have proven that they're not gonna budge. So I just kept blasting and vacuuming till the debris was all but out. A cheap bore scope cam can help you find patches of debris to blast out as well. |

Re: Help with dash lights
I had the same thing happen to my 72. After hours trying to figure out and trace each wire I bought a new circuit board for my year truck and it fixed everything.
It wasn't that expensive, I got mine from LMC |
