2006 ford Taurus "dash lights" not working

The dashboard lights stopped working. All other lights seem to be fine

If they do not or seem dim make sure that the dimmer switch is not turned down. This switch is near the headlight switch and if turned down the dash will appear to not have any lights. This switch if turned all the way up will also turn on the dome lamps.

If its faulty shorted bulb,then bulbs are to be replaced.


You will need to pull the instrument cluster and replace the bulbs. Their are 5 bulbs in the cluster

Check the fuse box diagram for Ford Taurus:----





You may have a short circuit in the headlight switch that is causing voltage to feed back through another circuit to the left turn indicator rather than to the lights. Since the fuse of the park/interior lamps is good and the lights still don't work, it comes down to the headlight switch. 

Check this ground wire,

It should be bolted good an tight.

It is in the trunk behind the ridht side plastic trim.

These details will help.

Thanks.

Cadillac Seville Digital Dash Display not working?

Many users face this problem with Digital dash ,it has to be repaired.

The digital dash in this model is really a computer display, these are full of logic chips and hundreds of other parts, they do fail and then the cluster blanks out, it is fairly common on this model. You will need to pull the clutter out of the car and send it in to one of the many GM licensed repair facilities that rebuild these dash clusters. There are many,i will suggest you check "Speedotach" they are a nation wide firm in getting the instrument cluster repairs for both manual and digital display.
Without specialized electronic testing equipment make just to diagnose these dash displays there is no owners repairs possible in most cases. The one thing you can check is to make sure the connector art the back of the cluster is clean and tightly seated into the display socket.

This details will help.Thanks.
