Re: dash lights

Whats wrong with them? Could just be the cluster needs pulled and bulbs replaced. To turn the dash lights on, you will turn the headlight switch to the left. When it clicks...the dome light will come on.

Re: dash lights

This may sound random but where is the correct location to place the jack for front and rear of the truck ???? - to safely change tires etc. - I'm smarter than this but I'm begining to wonder

Re: dash lights

LIGHTS.... if you pull it out one click, this will turn on your parking lights(hood) and tail lights. Pull it out to second position and the headlight/taillights will operate. If you TURN the knob to the left, this will change the brightness of the dash lights from dim to high. If you TURN it to the left and feel the click...thats the dome light on. JACK normally put it on the frame rail for the rear and go on the crossmember for the front. If you look under the driver side seat, there should be a mount that holds the jack. (if its still there.... for storage).
