Another dash light issue...

Post by Big Bear »

Can anybody suggest something to assist.

My main beam, indicator, speedo fuel gauge, Rev counter etc all work but the dash illumination, heater illumination, green headlight on light and switch illumination don't.

Bulbs are ok and fuses seem ok as well. Any suggestions please?

Thanks.

Reads like your flexible plastic circuit board at the back of the clocks is causing issues.
Some times the tracks crack or the earth points corrode.
Test the circuits for continuity

Multimeter time, just be methodical.
I had this issue and found a crack on an earth track, repaired with some galv paint.
