Check the resistor switch in the dash panel this would cause no dash lights  Left hand bottom(rotary).

Good Luck

Dimmer switches are Famous for this!

Love all Mopars especially B and E bodies.  Currently own a '69 Charger touting over 550hp reverse valve train manual shift with a 3:55 posi rear end, Y2 yellow and, YES it is my Daily Driver.
One day an E body will be setting next to her.

Michael,

  It's nice to have you aboard now(I like your name). On E-Bodies, the dimmer switch is only slightly more reliable than the original Rally dash clock.  :grinyes:  :lol:  :lol2: That's my first guess. Secondly it could be the wiring, but I would be more suspicious of the wiring being the problem if you were messing around under the dash recently.
