Driving home tonite my interior dash lights were not working, both the dash and counsel gauge lights were out. All exterior lights were working fine including the fogs.
The fog light pull switch dose light up when pulled. The center cabin light also did not work. Any thoughts, if its a ground wire whats the most likely place i would find it. I did just recently change all the fuses with new ones. Thanks |

chaffing wire? should be simple enough to find, just a pain in the dash to get up under there.
Clean the grounds to get better voltage, however the LEDs work on much less current so they are nice and bright. Also the incandescent bulbs are actually "burning" causing a yellow orange color when not fully powered. The LEDs are a pure white light so when you replace them the gage will look much cleaner and more "new". The difference is very noticeable. The only caution is not to install one on the GEN light as it is a diode and will inhibit current on that circuit. That circuit provides a small charge to excite the field in your alternator. It will inhibit it from charging if you do. I do have them here if you need them. http://shop.914rubber.com/Instrument-light...m?categoryId=-1 |
