Dash lights....hopefully stupid question

Post by randamonia »

So suddenly lost my dash lights. Fuse is ok. Checked all the bulbs and found one is blown. I can't believe this would be the case but just to check they are not in series are they?

No, parallel. Try wiggling the multipin plug.

Also check the dimmer wheel is on max, under the head light switch (if fitted)

Has your heater panel (and possibly cigarette lighter) illumination gone off too? If so, lighting switch (dimmer unit), if not probably bad connection on multiplug on back of dash.

The multiplug is behind the clocks, take off the binicle, you can't miss it.
