everything has been going fine for the past few weeks since I put it back on the road after po let it sit for 2 years ( basket case)

yesterday all the dash lights went out ( and lights for switches gauges, etc and clock) and maybe related but started bouncing

no blown fuses, all grounds I can find in engine compartment are clean and tight

also maybe a coincidink, but last night I noticed I had no back up lights, but it could have been that way since I got the car , according to my manual it says that one of the fuses runs the back up and instrument lights, but its a new fuse and looks good

up until then all worked good even the rheostat for dimming the lights worked
everything else is perfect electrically

I have made some modifications such as ellipsoids, oh and converted to an electric volvo puller fan and got rid of the fan and fan clutch but thts been it for electrical mods ( did not connect the city ( side) lights)

where else do I look ???

thanks

Take another hard look at the fuse, use a meter to see if you have power there, then report back.

replaced fuse, put a meter on the circuit with fuse out, checks ok
manual says interior lights and radio memory are on same fuse, but they work

ideas ?
