My lights are not working in my 70 Duster dash bulbs seem fine . What is the procedure to pull out the dash and does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong?

you shouldnt have to pull the whole dash - you have to take out the windshield for that, but to take out the instrument cluster, all you have to do is take out the screws on the front and unplug the light and wiper wires and the speedometer cable. good luck

if you can remove the steering wheel easily it will make the job easier.

The dash light power comes out of the headlight switch and goes through a 2A fuse. Check the fuse and headlight switch before tearing the complete dash apart.

Yes, the boards can be fixed, but you need to get the cluster out. There are probably broken pins on one or both boards.
