I'm glad my video helped you out. Thank you for the nice comments.

Glad it helped, and thanks for the sub!

It fixed the taillights too?! I’ve had the issue for a while where my brake lights work and my running taillights do not. Did you have the same issue?

Thanks! glad it helped.

39 lb of grease? From where?

What the hell is af?

Af means "as fuck" so, in this context he's saying " "interior is clean as fuck"

I am very jealous. Have the same color blue but a 92 C1500. I have the famous broken to Pieces Dash

@@tracycovey1727 Thanks, hope it works out for you

Thanks, Sounds like I got lucky with mine being only the Switch. I bet a lot of these plastic parts in these vehicles have seen some hot glue.

Where did you re ground to. I’m having the same problem after installing some new style tow mirrors. I added my ground next to the obd port but the lights work on the mirrors but the running lights stopped and the horn stopped also

@@alexyost3241 I just went to the metal obd port bracket with the wire. the other issue i had was a blown lamp fuse causing all this not to work also including the dash lights. there is a connector that was melted with a bunch of hots behind the ash tray / ac controller area and I had to cut the connector out and splice them back together. I went and bought a power probe it saved me alot of time tracing the whole harness out just to end up behind the dash.

I'll test this after work. I have the same issue. I'll have to double check fuses too. Nothing comes on. Prior the dimmer switch didn't adjust anything which was fine. But then out of nowhere everything stopped. Including the beep for having the lights on when ignition off. But the beep does chime briefly for seat belt. Hopefully it's just that ground and possibly fuse. Not a mess of hot wires behind the climate controls.

Glad you found it helpful.

Only thing I can think of trying is to swap the entire bulb holder and a known good bulb into the spot where the bulb won't light. If it still won't light than the trace on it might be bad. Those bulb holders and point where they contact the printer circuit are kind of finicky. I would also see if there is a good ground and power on the one that won't light. good luck!

You may check your bulbs and grounds and see if your front running lights are also out. Sounds like it might be your switch, but hard to tell from here. You could take the switch out and look at the plug contacts to see if they got hot. I also could get mine to work by wiggling the switch around and turning it off and on many times and sometimes they would come on. Sounds like it is at least a problem with the switch or wiring to the switch.

It's a Torx bit. I don't remember what size it was. If you google Torx bit you will see them, and you can buy a set of various sizes.

T20 Torx bit

Probably the switch I replace in video. Sounds like same problem I had. You can get them at any auto parts store or online. Just search for headlight switch your 94 Silverado, Thanks for watching

When you say the bulb might be bad are you referring to the dash lights. There are multiple bulbs in the dash so they would all have to be burnt out. I think it is more likely the top part of the switch that supplies power to the dash lights may be bad. That was the case when my dash lights would not come on. It was the top part of the switch that was bad but I also had no exterior running lights with my problem. The dimmer wheel is independent of your problem. The only way to really troubleshoot it is with a wire diagram of the dash lights and see if your getting power to them when the switch is turned on.

Probably related to the dimmer control wheel at right side of switch.

hope you get it fixed.

@@mikesworld60 got my part in finally. Thanks man. All my lights work now.

@@BAYBAY_316 That's Great! It makes it worth doing a video when it helps someone out. Keeps me motivated to do them.

sorry not sure where it is.

Sounds like what I had when my top part of the headlight switch went bad. The top part is for the dash lights and the running lights. If I turned the top switch on and off and wiggled it the dash lights would eventually come on. That is why I changed the whole switch assy. There were burnt contacts on the back of the switch. I would take the switch out and check it out or just replace it.

@@mikesworld60 Yes i changed that earlier today that fixed my running tailights but now its just my dash lights and the back right turn signal isnt flashing nor my brake light i changed the relay but nothing even the brake light switch by the pedal, i dont know what else it could be but thanks this video helped me !👍🏻

Sounds like the same symptoms mine had, my plastic parts in my dash are falling apart also. 29 years old I guess it is expected. Thanks for watching and the sub.

@@mikesworld60 ..yup...30 year old plastic parts get brittle..lasted a long time, I guess, but we didn't have to worry about that much on 1950's and '60's vehicles, especially trucks..very few plastic parts on those..yes, metal rusts, but it is more readily repairable, and dashes/interior parts rarely had anything more than surface rust on them...that started to change in the late '60's with cars, and the 1970's with trucks..that's when we started getting those gawd-awful padded vinyl dashes with the foam in them, that cracked with regularity and looked horrible when they cracked...and were almost impossible to repair satisfactorily...and, if you could find a new replacement(expensive), it was no time until the replacement cracked as well..😠

Right. Can't trust those 30 year old parts!! 🙂

@@daddi-o2443 man I sold it, put that into my wrecker to run, and now I need emission parts.. And can't find them.. :-(

I would check for bad connections at the switch. Make sure you have all powers and grounds with a test light.

Thanks for watching hope it helps

sorry I'm not sure, could be the dimmer wheel is a problem.

So, if the radio is stock and doesn't work but has some lights and the interior lights are out. I would check fuses and just because a fuse is good maybe it is not making good contact where the fuse plugs in. The dimmer knob controls the interior lights and instrument lights and radio illumination lights.

@@mikesworld60 I'll have to take a look once it's daylight. Thanks 👍

We all do that, I learn most of what I know by mistake.

I have the same problem but my fuse keeps popping is there any way I can fix it ?

@@victorangelmaldonado1495 does it pop when you turn on the headlights/running lights or as soon as you put it in? If it blows when you put it in you have an electrical problem and should get a shop to look at it, if it pops when you turn the lights on check you’re not grounding out somewhere from a split wire or bad connection

@@victorangelmaldonado1495 Sounds like a wire directly shorted to ground. I would find out everything that is on that fuse and start disconnecting things until the fuse stops blowing and then you at least know about where the short is.

@@thebigfellacole3757 it pops after a wile of driving or if I step on it and go fast

sorry no idea, maybe someone else knows. Thanks for watching though.

@@mikesworld60 maybe this truck is a bit of a electrical nightmare tho theres loose wires everywhere. I think someone tore out the AC and replace the front panel. I found a old radio and a new one in it so I think the previous owner swapped out the dash to a different one to try and fit the radio and tore out the shit he no longer had the controls for I'm finding loose switches from the old panel too

Sounds like a real challenge, good luck to you.

I will see if I can find out later when I can look at my wiring diag in my service manual.

Check fuse ecm-1(mini fuse) 20A In the underhood Fuse/Relay center. It should have 12v when the key is in run or start. The wires on the 2 fuel injectors are pink or red and get their power from that fuse. That's all I know. good luck.

@@mikesworld60 got the truck going,,, thanks,, found a burnt fuse underneath the steering wheel area.

My best suggestion would be to get a wiring diagram for your year and model of truck and check powers and grounds. If the high beams work and lows, don't it could be a bad multifunction sw.

@@mikesworld60 yes my Chevy Silverado 1989 headlights are out but not the lower front parking lights. thanks 🙏

I would probably check the wiring from the switch to the instrument panel. Check to make sure you have all your powers and grounds. Use a test light to check instead of a meter.

No, Fuse was fine. Switch just had bad contacts inside. The connections in the plug where it plugs in to switch can also be damaged and have bad contact or shorting together there. You can usually see that because the plug looks like it is getting hot and discolored. If you have a fuse blowing, then you have a short to ground somewhere causing that which is even possible inside the switch itself. If you unplug the switch and the fuse still blows then you have a short in the wires going from the fuse to the plug that plugs into the switch assembly.

Hopefully someone out there has and idea. Thanks for watching!

@@mikesworld60 no problem!

sorry I don't know, have your check fuses

Sorry for the long reply time, I just check mine and it doesn't have a backlite for it.

@@mikesworld60 ..Hmm..thanks..that's what I was afraid of :(...a headlight switch really should have a backlight..eliminates fumbling for it...

@@dyer2cycle I agree, the switches on the door for the power door locks and electric window need them too. It is hard to find them in the dark.

i would check for loose connections in display, burnt out bulbs maybe.

​@@mikesworld60 I replaced the Tachometer with a Canadian one. Also send it in to check if all the Bulbs are working and to apply the mileage from the old Tachometer to the Canadian one. Its easier for me to read kph than Miles. I remember that the lights already worked sporadically when the mph Tachometer was in. So I dont think the Problem is in the Tachometer. Im gonna let someone check on that Problem here in Germany who has 30 years of expierence with US Cars. Maybe he finds the Problem.

Sounds like my kind of experience

good to know

you may have a burnt wire or bad connection on the back of the light switch. I would pop out the switch and check all the wires on the back of the switch first.

Sorry not enough info to help you. You may want to read though the comments and see if that helps. Thanks for stopping by.

@@mikesworld60 update. It's just my parking(running) lights and dash board that aren't working. I just swamped out the switch. 😑

@@Livemusic1800 Did that solve your problem?

@@gera2396 unfortunately no. Looks like there is a ground issue on mine. Cause it kept blowing the fuses as soon as i put them in they would burn. I have to wait till I find an electrician/mechanic.

Before I replaced the switch my dash lights would sometimes work and sometimes not. I had to turn the top part of the switch on and off many times before they would come on. The switch was intermittent. Not sure about the other problem but sounds like your maybe missing some power to the a controls. Not really sure on that, hard to troubleshoot without the vehicle. I think there are a couple of fuses for the ac. One box in engine compartment on my 93 and a fuse panel inside to the left of steering column near parking brake release. I would get a wiring diagram and check powers and grounds for the ac.

@@mikesworld60 appreciate the reply I’ll be looking into those fuses, thank you!

Loose connectors maybe
