    Default dash lights not working

    got a weird problem at the moment. half of my dash lights arent working. the lights behind the switchblocks (trip computer/cruise) arent working, and the lights for the 3 LCD windows on the cluster arent working. the lcds work fine though. from what i know the lcd lights are on with ignition, and the others when parkers are on. is there some kind of shared ground they use, or any reason why they might not be working?

    R the cluster lights working? if they r could just b blown globes or poor contact with the globes on the switch blocks. as 4 the LCD screens could b the same deal grab a multi meter and check that u have power.

    The plugs in the back of the switch blocks can give the "no lights" problem - like the hazard plug can kill the indicators if not plugged in properly.

    Have you had the switch blocks out lately?

    make sure the PCB connection under the cluster that plugs into the LCD block is in properly
