Title: Dash Lights not working
Post by: ohms on December 21, 2007, 08:14:35 PM
Hi Chaps, turned the lights on my FD today and the dash and accessory switches failed to light up, any ideas what could have caused this? Not fun driving at night with no idea how fast you\'re going.:2eek
 
thanks

yep, I\'ll second that!! for some reason the japs find it a good idea to put the interior dash lights & rear lights on the same fuse, so when your dash dies so do your rear sidelights!!!

its a good way of you knowing the rears are not working !!! there is a relay in the front relay box that works the rears and the dash lights, or it could be the reostat in the dash,
