Instrument panel Inop
Would anybody have any ideas where to look beyond the fuse box, as to why my instrument panel doesn't work?? I have the turn signal indicators, the high beam indicator, and that's it.
I checked the two fuses listed in the owners manual (slots 35 & 41, I believe). They checked good, but I replaced them anyway.
The alternator was replaced yesterday, and the batteries today. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but maybe it's relevant. The I/P stopped working about a week ago.
Any help would sure be appreciated...

A big thank you to all the guys who responded!! 
The fuse in slot 45 was popped. Stuck in a new one and got my dash back. Just in time, too. The low fuel light is on!!
I have the tow/haul switch instead of the o/d, but I'm guessing it's the same issue. When I get some time, I'll pull the shroud off of the column and take a look.
Again, thanks, guys!!

'99 f350 with dead dash cluster
Can anyone tell me what all fuses would affect the dash gauges to be inoperative? I get the idiot lights and the tach operates for about two seconds. I know there has to be a series of fuses etc. I should be checking, just need to be educated on what they are.
Thanks,
Charles

dash cluster inop
The truck is a 2000 f350 and the post you refer to before this must be some different year as 33,35 and 41 on this truck are relays not fuses and there is no slot 45. Any additional help would be appreciated.

For a 99 - 01 Super Duty, check fuse F19 under the dash.
You have to provide explicit identification when asking about this stuff, especially when you're hijacking an old thread (which should be avoided).
