Intrument Cluster Went Dark

[onthejob]

My wife just called me and said all the instruments went dark while she was driving. She pulled over and turned the truck off, waited and started back up but same results. Everything else appears normal. Exterior lights are working. I am assuming she did not change any settings including the dimmer for the dash lights.

Any ideas? I searched for this situation and did not find anything.

my guess is dimmer....when the light sensor changed because of darkness it went from lighting for day, to lighting for night.

I did specifically ask, "Did the headlights just automatically turn on?" and she said no they were still off. She had to manually turn them on to check if they were working.

Very possible. Also nearly impossible to troubleshoot over the phone. She declined to bring it back home because she has a hair appointment she would miss. Let's hope that's all it is!

Ask her if she read the manual. My wife LOVES it when I toss that question at her.

Shutting it off helps but you also need to open the door and close it to complete the set up. Hopefully it's just a small glitch and she gets home safe!
