Instrument cluster lights

Post by stuwhitfeild »

Hi,

First post, recently bought a T25....

I had no dash lights on the speedo - wiggled the buld and it came back on. Turned on the lights yesterday and now theres nothing illuminatedon the dash - the headlights all work fine and fuse 3? is ok.

Checked the bulbs with a meter - any suggestions?

Welcome. The flexible printed circuit mats in the speedo are notorious for poor or high resistance connections, especially the dash lights. Take the bulbs out and carefully clean the connections on the bulbs and the printed circuit. That usually does the trick.
