    Hi,on my new `67 GS convertible the dash lights do not work or the blinkers,but the lights go on outside the car,the guy i bought it off said he replaced the headlight switch but still no dash lights or blinker indicators?he said fuse and stuff all check ok,what could be the issue here?

    Thanks

    Well first thing you want to the is remove dash pad then remove all the small nuts from the back side of the dash face you know where the switchs and radio sit , then tilt it forwerd then you should beable to get to them all .

    George , when i got my 64 i had the same problems. The dash lights were just burnt out or not seated properly in the sockets . a very quick fix if you can work by feel , eyeball about where the light should be and fish your hand up behind there and find the bulbs and check those out first .

    on 64-65 dash`s its way easier to fish ur hand than a 66-67 dash,when i had my `65 GS,if a light bulb burnt out i could change it in no time,but on the 66-67 dash`s its kinda of a mission.

    Thanks
