insturment panel lights dont work

hey guys I changed cabs on my 78 ford f-250. Now the insturment mights dont work when I turn the headlights on. a day after the cab was changed they worked. I was on a bumpy driveway and the insturment lights flickered then went out then havent came back on. My high and low beam light still works same with my turn signal lights. Any sugestions? My ligth switch i can dim it and brighten it and still dont help it out. its still no lights..
thanks,
jimmy

That circuit runs through the headlight switch then to the printed circuit.

Check the wire at the switch

gauge and tail lights are on the same fuse the hi-beam indicator is with the headlights on a circuit breaker check the fuse (and taillights) then if it's blown start checking wires

Had the same problem with my 77 f-250. No cab swap but no lights. The bulb holders were cracked and broken. I guess the plastic got brittle. got new ones at zone or bumper. Also the printed circut in behind the spedo was dirty and had a little corrosion on it. clean with a pencil eraser. Do not use solvents,No not even eletrical contact cleaner as it eats the plastic.
