i just purchased a 92 ford escort lx. i work nights and when i came from work i noticed that there were no
dash lights except for the floor shift and the dimmer for the dash lights. is it possible that there is a resistor for the dash, as i remember selling a resistor for certain cars, but am not for sure on this vehicle.
is that why i have no dash lights?
thank you

Most likely you need the bulbs in the dash out
I believe it take 4 bulbs you can use bulb #194
if you have tail light and radio and clock light with lights on i would check the bulbs in the back of the cluster
