My Guage Won't Light up Anymore

Postby redgreen21 » Wed Aug 10, 2005 9:01 am

Yeah, its sucked finding out that it burnt out the board. However I have jury rigged a fix so it works until i put in a fulltime fix tonight. Im going to splice in a wire to bypass the burnt part. To change the bulb in the ashtray, look for the lighting guide through the search at the top. It runs through the whole thing.

Try the dimmin' knob.
Roll that dim knob all the way to the right.
Then the coin tray near the steerin' column on the left take that out and there will be a diagram of which fuse goes to whic electronic device.
The HVAC controls have 1 and the guages have 1, it could be the bulbs not screwed on tightened all the way.
The fuses under the hood are for the big stuff under the hood.
The lilttle stuff on the inside is behind teh coin tray near the steerin' column.
