the dash lights now glow very faintly when I turn on the headlights.

Asked by Jack_1950 Nov 06, 2015 at 08:21 AM about the 2002 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

the dash lights now glow very faintly when I turn on the headlights. Is the dash bulb burnt out or the dimmer switch bad? Turning the dimmer switch up or down has no impact. Not completely black. If it is a bulb, is it something I can replace myself?

My 05 ford explorer rolled on its side. Now won't fire. I've hit the inertia switch on passenger side and still no fire. All gauges read all lights come on on dash. But when I turn key to on nothing. 3 Answers

Checked all fuses. My anti theft system light on dash flashes quickly when I turn key to on. If it's the security system is there a bypass. Or a fuel reset. If so where.
