But how would bad grounds affect the dash lights?

I'd check grounds too - if the lights are grounded to the body and the body was painted they may no longer be grounded. Regards, Tony On 4/20/2026 5:38 PM, auprichard uprichard.net wrote: ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

I'd check grounds too - if the lights are grounded to the body and the body was painted they may no longer be grounded.

Yes – same circuit.  But I’d also expect the front side lights / running lights not to be working and possibly the headlights too.

Get under the dash and check the wires in and out of the light switch.

I have a '62 TR 3B. I recently had it painted. The painter took it apart to paint (fenders, doors, trunk, etc.). After bringing it home, I discovered that the tail lights and dash lights were not working. All other electrical items are working.
I have a '62 TR 3B.  I recently had it painted.  The painter took it apart to paint (fenders, doors, trunk, etc.).  After bringing it home, I discovered that the tail lights and dash lights were not working.  All other electrical items are working.  Are those 2 items, dash and tail lights on the same circuit?  Everything was working before the paint job.

Thanks in advance for any help,
