Re: No Dash Lights, Rev Counter or Speedo when lights on

Welcome, I am also quite new here but I have been taking my 1990 van dash apart and I am really puzzled that you say the speedo before went up and down as you turned the dimmer switch. The speedo needle is operated by a cable to the front wheel and has no electrical components so should not be effec...

Re: rock and roll bed comfort
