Q:  1. Dash board lights went out. All of the below items seem to check out to be OK:
FUSE, Dashboard LAMPS, and Dimmer switch. I have checked the continuity on ea. according the Chilton's automobile manual. I have noticed that there is no power however to up to the dashboard when I pull a lamp and check the voltage accross it.

2. Rear Heater out. Checked the Switch from the front control seemed ok, I still swapped it out anyway= NO CHANGE. Checked the continuity on the rear switches to the blower and it also seemed to be OK.

Note: This maybe a coincidence but both problems above seemed to happen around the same time. I have 111,000miles on my van now. It runs good but the electrical is failing me.

3. I am now starting to have problems with my cruise control working intermittently. I have not done any troubleshooting on this as of yet.


Any assistance you can provide will be well appreciated.

Thanks


A:  I would be checking the wiring diagram for a common wiring harness that would contain all of the affected circuits. Then attack the problem. Ed
