Dashpod lights fault

Post by mariner »

Evening all. The lights for my speedo and fuel gauge, plus for the heater are failing to work when the engine is on. When I stop and turn the key to turn off the engine, hey presto they're on again. All external lights working and indicator light on dashpod working. Full beam light on dashpod NOT working but oil and battery light are. Before I take it apart, any ideas what I should be looking for? I have one of the replacement pcb kits rather than the original one. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Did these problems start after the conversion to a PCB?

No. Had the conversion kit in for a few years without any problems. Turns out the full beam bulb is still working so all parts of the central dash okay. Still coming going with speedo and fuel gauge light and heater bulb. Must be loose wire somewhere but no idea where to start!

Could it be the dimmer switch on the headlight switch
