Isspro gauges work during day but not at night. Ideas?

I just got my truck back from the body shop for hail damage. They had to pull the gauge pod in order to get to the roof. I noticed the past two days that the gauges work during the day but not at night. I don't know what would cause that. Also when I mess with the dimmer at night the red warning light on my fuel pressure gauge flickers and makes a buzzing sound. All my other lights on the truck work. Messing with the headlight switch does nothing. It's not just th lights that don't work. It is all the gauges.

Sounds like when they hooked them back up, they messed with the hook up of the lights from the switch. Disconnect the lighting wire and go from there. It could also be a grounding issue too.

Wish Joe was still hanging around here. He would know this. He was funny and knew a lot about these gauges and this truck.

Good call on the ground. When the hooked the battery back up they broke a ground wire.

Thanks

I am glad you got it fixed! That is a pretty common issue with electrical problems.
