My 67 Mustang that I just purchased has no dash lights. Actually no lights anywhere in the interior except for the courtesy light. Headlights and taillights work and so does the courtesy light but none of the dash lights, stereo light or the transmission indicator lights work. I have jiggled and moved the dimmer switch as I have had old/bad headlight switches in 65/66 mustangs that worked the headlights but you had to play with them to get the dash lights to work and or adjust. This isn't working on the 67. Yes I checked the fuse and replaced it with a new one to be sure with no luck. ( the old one was NOT blown)

Did you check that the bulbs are still good? other than that you need to get the Voltmeter or testlight out and confirm you do or don't have power to the lights with the switch on (blue-red wire thru the fuse I believe) and thru its entire rotation.

I had the same problem. I pulled the dash off and found one burned out bulb, but the rest were fine.
Next, I pulled the connector off the headlight light switch and jumpered to the correct wire and got panel lights. So, my switch was bad. I found another at O'Reilly. I haven't installed it yet, but it should fix the problem.
In the mean time, I back fed the panel lights from the high side of the instrument voltage regulator (lights come on with the key).

FYI Ford still makes the headlight switches. They are not NOS pieces that have been on a shelf for 40 years.
