<>Try your local library for a Chilton manual or check with a Ford dealership (maybe they'll let you look at their Chilton!).

There are only about 10 fuses maximum in a 1980 Ford F150. It probably has round glass fuses. In ten minutes you could pull out every fuse, do an inspection on each, find the offending fuse and replace it. Do this one by one so as not to mix up the fuses, they will all be a different amp rating. Find the one that is blown and replace it with the same size fuse that is in there, amp wise that is. The amperage will be listed on the silver end of the fuse, something like 15A.
My guess is that it is not a fuse but a faulty light switch. The adjustment for the brightness of the panel lights is connected to that switch. Twist the knob and see if your dashlights flicker. If they do either adjust them all the way up or replace that faulty switch. There will be a button to push on the side of the switch that releases the plunger so that the knob comes out and then you can remove the switch. You could also go to the Ford Dealer near you and they can print out a diagram for you, but I think you can handle this problem without one.

Do you have the owners manual for this truck? If so the layout of the fuse panel is in it. If I remember correctly the instrument panel fuse is in the upper right 1/4 of the fuse panel towards to center but I could be wrong. I too would check the headlight switch as the dash is dimmed via this switch.

at the same time as the vehicle changed into new there turned right into a black conceal over the fuse field with white writing showing what each fuse is often for. If its no longer there you should get a alternative conceal. those covers are not any further ordinary to positioned back on and in many circumstances they finally end up interior the glove field or tossed interior the rubbish.

I concur with the first responder 100%. Plus in my personal and professional opinion, using a diagram will only make the task harder instead of simplifying it. However, if a diagram is what you want, a diagram is what you'll get. Remember me at Christmas time.
