Well.  I am new to the list, but, in my '86 4k I have had such problems
happen.  It turns out it was a loose connection.  Mine was more confusing
though.  When I switched the light switch to headlights all other lights
would go out and the headlights would come on.  Pretty weird ehhh?!  I took
the switch out and push all the connectors on firmly and all works now.
Much to my surprise my dash was fully lit again which half hadn't been for
several months.
