1997 E150 fuse box location

Hi!
We just bought our first conversion van today -- granted it's a little old, but it's beautiful! Someone took great care of it, and we are excited to carry on the tradition. However -- no owner's manual came with it. The driver's side dashboard lights don't work. We'd appreciate it if someone could tell us which fuse number we're looking for. Thanks!
Steve and Karen

On my van the dash lights and the tail lights are together, so you know if you don't have tail lights. That might have changed with yours. You should check anyway. Just pull the fuses and look at them, you will be able to see if it is bad. Mine are not numbered. My dash and tail fuse is a 15A in the lower left position, next to a large circuit breaker. You can pick up a manual for the van at Pep Boys, AZ etc. It won't cover the conversion part, but it will cover the basics. Good luck with your new van.

I'm not near my manual, but according to the previous post the dash lights & rear lights use the same fuse. If the rear lights work, it's not the fuse. That would be too easy to fix. I have a '97 e150 too, & a couple of the dash lights have burned out. Not sure how many are in there, but I have a couple of dim areas. Supposedly it's not too difficult to remove the trim & display to replace the bulbs. When I get some spare time (yeah, right) I plan on replacing all of them while I'm in there. Just a thought... are you sure the light switch isn't turned all the way down? With the headlight switch pulled out, try turning the ****.
