dash lights?

Anyone else have problems with their dash lights? Mine weren't working at all but i started messing with the dimmer ****, and found a neutral position where they come on but aren't exactly the brightest.

the dimmer switch are known to do this on the fox, they get old and get a "sweet spot" per say and also the headlight switch can be faulty and cause the dash light issue as well ( but usually also have park light or tail lights issue at the same time). I would focus on the dimmer switch, check fuses and wiring.

Alrighty. Thank you sir. Also was wondering about how big of a fuel tank do the fox's have? My gas gauge doesn't work and i don't know how much gas it will hold

I only mentioned it really due to the fact that if it was the headlight switch usually there is a combo of issues vs just one. most people would have no dash AND no tail or park light vs just no dash while the dimmer could cause the dash issue . stil it can happen though so I added it has a possible check.
