SOURCE: some dash lights do not work

if the headlight switch were bad....all of the instrument panel lights would be out, same with the fuse. More than likely you have some individual bulbs out, to change them requires disassembly of the dash. If you are not comfortable with that disassembly, I would recommend that you consult a shop. If you are comfortable with it, I'd say grab a Haynes book and go for it!

My 99 Chevrolet silverado 4wd not working.ive replaced the dash switch and still nothing .when I turn the key the 4wd switch lights stay on for a split second then goes off. What else should I try?

I have run into to this problem many times on these trucks, i have seen your problem and also where the 4wd high light wont work but 4wd low and 2wd work fine and the 4 wheel drive works fine. on your truck i will bet its the transfer case selector motor.
the motor is what turns the lights on when in the selected mode which goes through the 4wheel module under the dash, this sounds like a bad selector motor and that where i would start. this motor is located on the transfer case, it bolts to the rear of it.here is a picture of it to help you locate it. good day.4_14_2012_12_37_13_pm.jpg

Hi, all of my running lights and dash lights are always on in my 99 Silverado. I know I have DRL, but my switch should turn off the dash lights, right? Any ideas on what could be the problem? I think it is...

find the lighting relay, if the dash lights don't go off with the switch then the relay could be stuck, when you find it turn the lighting switch on and off to try to hear the relay clicking, if no clicking the relay is probably stuck, give it a couple of taps before you go buying a new one.
