Looking for some help as little by little my dash lights have gone out. I have checked the #9 fuse and replaced the switch. Any help is appreciated.

My 1996 C1500 had gradually gone down to where only 3 of something like 17 of the lights in the instrument cluster worked! Not even things like the high beam or turn signal lights were working. And the speedometer and other gauges were no longer lit up at night.

If you don't know, that instrument cluster comes out easily. You have to pop off the dash trim, remove a few screws, tilt the wheel down as far as it goes, and move the shift lever down to 1, then you can pull it out and then kinda fish it up and out. The bulbs are in little sockets that go into the back of the instrument cluster, and are easily replaced. There are 2 size bulbs, I think it is either a Philips or Sylvania 74, and a 194. I bought the long life (LL) versions when replacing all of mine this past spring.

Apparently there is also the possibility of a "161" bulb, but I didn't buy any of those, as my 1996 was all 74's and 194's.
