Hi all, first time doing these forums,

I've had an intermittent problem with my dashboard or instrument cluster lights where the speedometer and gauges are. The lights stay on when the truck is parked, locked, keys away etc. It'll eventually drain the battery and need to be boosted. Sometimes the truck will go for a month OK, then 5 days in a row the lights will stay on draining the battery. I've tried pulling the fuse, its tight but still drains the battery. I've noticed quite a few people have this problem AND WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT KNOWS THE FIX!

Thanks

Replace the hvac modual behind the glove box bolted the side wall will fix the problem no more lights on or draining the battery
