light bulb in the dash?

I have a 64 f100 I drove it home in the dark the other night and realized that there was no light in the dash. I had to use a lighter to see how fast I was going. now is there a light in the speedo itself or around the speedo or what?

yes there are small light bulbs that illuminate the dash. If there not working check the fuse on the fuse block that is attached to the light switch. And check the ground to the cab.

Curtis, You might also try rotating the light switch ****, as it controls the on & off/brightness of the dash lights. I'd check that first.

Look at the left end of the blue bar, click User CP, then edit gallery. Load your photos there and any one at any time can see your photos.
