Cluster Lights just went out

My cluster lights just went out, they were very dim to start off and only on the speedometer, fuel gauge, and heat was working very dim but now they just went dark completely. All the front and rear and side lights work fine, turning lights work fine.
Did the bulbs just gave up? I Checked the fuse it seems to be fine,
Please any suggestions, I know there might be a few out there......

Re: Cluster Lights just went out

Did you accidently rotate the headlight knob. That is where the dimmer is on these trucks. Try rotating the knob both directions to see if that works.

You are right, that did the trick. My kid must have been playing with the knobs and turned it around.

On a side note before the cluster lights went dark, whenever I would turn on the lights, on the speedometer right in the middle below the 50mph mark a red light would come one I am guessing to indicate that the lights are on or what not, now the red light is gone when I turned on the lights without turning the engine. Would the red light come on once I turn the engine on, would you know know?
