Hello, my gauge lights aren't working on my dash. When driving the rpm, mph and gas gauge needles are working they are just not lighting up when head lights are turned on. When the key is in the on position the check engine light, e brake and door ajar lights come on. Also the lights for the ac controls do not come on neither. Checked all fuses and they are all good. I was just wondering if anyone had any clue of what might be the problem before I tear my dash off and start chasing wires one by one
start by looking at schematic on page 274 of the Haynes manual, look at brown (brn) & dark green With white wired( dkgrn/wht) BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF ELECTRICAL SCHEMATICS MAKES YOUR LIFE EASIER replace fuse 13,make sure male & female are bright ...............now the fun stuff pull the light switch & clean the male blades,& female they insert into =EASY CHORE clean dimmer switch connectors also a test light is best for this work,,when you locate potential problem ,,use jumper wire to go around it... U ANY BAD CONNECTION CAUSE INTERMITTEN CONNECTION WHEN YOU HIT BUMPS ,WHICH RUINS THE DIMMER SWITCH eventually you can glue sand paper to piece of thin flat plastic from plastic juice /soda bottle.. just cut to size keep a few of these in the tool box,, really handy to clean connectors ,,better than metal file of course check the ground connections in this area (black wires )
