Dash lights not working

[andysauto1]

72 Demon dash lights aren't working, fuse is good but dead on each end. Turn on dome lamp fuse is hot on both ends. Any thought on this?

Feel all the fuses in the fuse block, if one fuse is warm (or hot) to the touch, there is your problem.

Same with the wiring at the connectors, feel for a hot one.

Polish up the fuse holder terminals with scotch a bright pad. Same with the end of the buzz glass fuses.

40 year old parts, things corrode. Electricity follows the path of least resistance, not necessarily going to your dash lights.
