dash lights no longer working

Half the dash lights in my 73 ford quite working I just put new bulbs in all 6 places and now none of them work could this be the fuses or the plastic circuit pannel on the back of the cluster?

I had the same problem , my plastic cicuit was coroded , you can buy new ones . Instead I bought some small 12 volt lights and replaced stock with new custom ones , ran wires to the yellow 3 prong under dash . Easy fix and dont have to worry about the platic coroding ever again . My 2 cents .

The flex circuit contacts are easy to clean. Check the Read First:FAQ thread at the top of the 73-9 forum for instrument panel info.
