    2007 FG Instrument Panel Lights Out

    Gait, Re-read your post on the fire. I have since turned my cab dome light to the off position, as it works only intermittently, as did my box dome light. I will check the wiring for wear ASAP. Also, going to look into a starter battery kill switch.

    2007 FG Instrument Panel Lights Out

    FG Surfari - The mechanical shop I took the truck into thought it was something like that, but found wear on the wire that runs on a channel up on the box. They wrapped it and set it outside of the channel. That unfortunately wasn't it. I had to cancel my weekend trip. But on the positive...
