So... my gen 1 light is out , fuel gauge is not working, highbeam indicator is stuck on, and my instrument lights go out when I turn tthe ignition to run. Checked all of the fuses in the cab, all are good. Pulled dash apart, again unable to locate any loose wires or bare wires being grounded out. Any suggestions?

look under your dash on the side wall, you will see a most likely 6 prong grounding port, make sure no wires have come loose or broken off

Yup, grounds.

Sorry it took me a while to reply. That was the problem. The wire was disconnected from the grounding port and was lying on the floorboard under the mat. Still confused as to why some of the lights were working and the others were not. But all is well know thanks again guys.

thats kinda what happened to mine except the headlights were working but the turn signals, windshield wipers and hazards weren't, i found a ground wire broken off from the grounding port, rehooked it up and eveything worked fine, glad to hear you got it fixed
