Re: Lost all dash lights in Astro Dash

[Eric Sturgis <ericsturgis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Try fiddling with the dimmer on the headlight switch.  Lots of times it's to blame, the ummm  rheostat gets dirty and corroded and fails. If you have a ash tray light and it works on your car it will dim with the headlight switch.  It that still lights and goes bright and dim then it's the more than likely the power pack.

The Power Pack. The gauges and pointers are powered by a power pack, which converts the 12 volt D/C to 200 volts A/C at 250 cycles per second. The power pack on a 1960-2 Chrysler or 1960-3 Imperial is mounted on the cowl side panel underneath the instrument panel. On the 1966-67 Chargers, it is mounted to the lower lip of the instrument panel, behind the glove box.

Yes, but disconnect the battery first, it bites really hard like a spark plug wire.  It's got a white and oragne wire up under the dash bolted to the firewall near the parking brake.  I can find a photo for you.....give me a few.  They do wear out and I had mine rebuilt here localy.  Works perfect.

I started cleaning out  the '62 300 today.  I like to look at the dash
lights when it gets dark.  The astro dash lights worked, then all of a
sudden they all went out.  Is that some type of controller to check?

The other bulb type lights behind the buttons and the radio work fine.
