1969 chrysler 300 - instrument panel lights - where?

[gransedan]

Hi there fellow mopar worriers

Checked and cleaned my instrument panel light dimmer switch and looks to be working OK.
Checked at the instrument panel fuse and there seems to be OK as well.

After some work today I only found the 2 lights that are above the instrument panel (photo with 2 red circles).
It was hard to see if there were some on the circuit board,

Looking underneath my dash (after removing several things) I see a 4 pin connector.
Testing the wiring going to the circuit board there does not seem to be any (dimmer) related light. Is this correct?

I would like to know where all lights that give the dash light are, if there are more then 2 that i did find on top of the dash.
Maybe somebody got a picture of when they took it all apart...

Thanks in advance, pieter

The only dash lights are the ones that you have circled. No lights behind the instrument panel except for the warning lights and turn signals.

THANKS, no more searching then . If somebody has a photo of the back of the dash/instrument panel of the 69, I would be interested to see it...

Not sure if these are the photos you are looking for, it this is what I have. These are from a 1970, but they should be the same.

Here are a few more before disassembly. Keep in mind the dash is upside down on the table.

difficult to see but on the right (yellow wire) i see something like fasten belts and on the left I see lock doors or something like that.

 

[JJ300]

That is correct, fasten belts and door locks are what those two are. As far as the yellow wire, my other picture here shows it going into the main harness ...hope this helps!!

I have a 69 Newport and my dash lights don't work.

I have a 69 Newport and my dash lights don't work.

With dash lights that don't work, as a shift worker I find a handy work around is a $2 torch.... I use it when approaching red light and speed cameras... After you have passed the cameras, speed is just academic....
