does the green stuff on the back of dash's...........
ever stuff up? i bought a dash off ebay , the speedo head and odometer works , but when plugged into the dash that it came from , it doesnt work ( tacho dash , my dash is non tacho ) does the green ribbon stuff with the copper trace bits on it ever stuff up?
Its not what you know or who you know , its how well you can fake it
Almost not here!
Yes it can stuff up. When I did the VN tacho dash years ago all I had to do was put the new gauges in and it all worked. - Have you tryed to swap the tacho and fuel/temp gauges over to your cluster?Originally Posted by Gus The Snail

found the problem.. it had broken copper bits right underneath it.. got some wire and stickytape and renewed the connection.. works now
Have a spare dash with the same pproblem.. fixed it , but its still not working.. and i know the speedo is in working condition.. could there be something else causing it to not work?

are you going to renew the connection properly? i don't know that stickytape and wire is the best long term solution!

yeah , it'll get repaired properly down the track.. i have lots of other niggly little things that need repairing first.. and a few other peoples cars that have to be worked on. Gotta make a living somehow

Hi
Has anyone had problems with the lower dash lights, like indicators, hand brake light etc not working? I installed a level 2 dash all works well except for the lower indicator lights.
Crackers.
i speak before i think
It could be blown bulbs. they are easily replaced. you can do it with the cluster in or out of the car too. If you want to leave the cluster in:
Unclip the fuse cover under the steering column. If you get down in the foot well and look up under the cluster you should see a row of little black things about 8 or 10 mm long and 5mm or so wide on each side of the cluster. they are the bulbs for the dash lights. Twist off the indicator one - you might need needle nosed pliers to grab it. Chuck a new one in and see what happens. if the bulb is blown you will see it when you pull it out. Just like checking a normal house light bulb. If the bulb is still in tact then its most likely the cluster. try one of the other bulbs that do work in the indcator slot and see what happens.
I have the same problem and its not the bulbs - tried new ones and didnt fix it. If so there isnt much you can do about it besides getting a new cluster.
By the way, i picked up a bulb from holden for 5 bucks.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people

lol maybe just a little bit...
super cheap has a 2pack for $5. just small wedge bulbs, try that first.By the way, i picked up a bulb from holden for 5 bucks.

^^^ a mate of mine works at holden so he picked me one up from there. No surprise that super cheaps sells them cheaper

fixed the ribbon cable today , soldered a wire across to good copper , the plastic was too damaged to run the metal texta across it safely.. All insulated with nitto tape
