Default Dimmer switch/guage cluster lights.

K, the car has an aftermarket autometer guage cluster, when I first got it, I had to play with the dimmer switch a little bit with the headlights on to get the cluster lit, now that I did a black interior swap, the cluster lights aren't working, but I didn't touch any of the wiring, could it be the dimmer switch making the cluster lights not work, and the a/c controls/headlight switch lights not work aswell? All fuses are good, and no wiring was touched. lmk, thanks

Sounds like that dimmer switch has been going bad for a while now. I would make that your best bet from what you have described.

no, sorry on the d/r's, I have some big and little rod lites but they are 4 lug and just regular street tires
only 5 lugs I have at the moment are the bullits.
