Dash Lights
The dash lights on my truck only work on the left hand side of the intrument panel. From the middle of the speedo to the right I have no lights. I have searched through the threads but haven't found anything really helpful.

I had the same problem, most likely one or more of your bulbs is not making good contact to the printed circuit board. Most likely the plastic ears holding them in have become brittle and either bent or broke off completely.
Remove the cluster and inspect the printed circuit and the bulb socket mounting tabs. You may need to replace the plastic backing plate the guages and circuit mount to.
