Answer
Hoss: I would say you will have to replace that dashboard light fuse or relay with new ones to get those to work again. It sounds like a relay problem to me. The relay for your horn will not work for the dash lights. Did you when you changed those relays, remove the neg cable off the battery and then changed them. Chances are that your horn no longer works either. To change a relay, you take the neg cable off the battery, remove the old relay and put in the new relay and then put the neg cable back on the battery. Other wise you will blow out the new relay. I think I would be trying to replace the relay. Other wise maybe you messed up all the light bulbs in the dash lights. You could also check for a loose wire someplace too. Hope this helps and God bless: Linda
