My dash board lights on my 98 Eddie Bauer Expedition just recently went out as well. I lost my owners manual. Burnt fuse maybe? Anyone have any idea and also where is the fuse box location for this vehicle?
Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same problem with my Ford Taurus. Were you able to resolve your problem?

I don't have you model car. Other cars I've had always when the dash went out, the tail lights were out. They do this so you will be aware. I know you said it ain't the fuse, but.........maybe inline fuse (I doubt it)....USA is the GREATEST.....

I have had the same problem on my 93 ford. Dash and tail lights stopped working, but every once in a while went back on with some love taps. Eventually they go completely out. I replaced the headlight pull switch and it worked again, for a while. While replacing the switch I saw that the electrical harness was fried. Currently looking for harness sold at dealerships only.
