    Default VS Commodore Dash Lights Gone??

    Hey guys

    Last night i was driving to Werribee to get something from the Kmart 24 hour.

    On the way there everything was working 100%, dash, speed alert everything.

    I get back to my car and start it, but the speedo lights won't turn on? I also noticed that my speed alert was just a beem of green light and wasn't working either, but i don't understand how this can just randomly happen?

    I had to use my iPhone as a torch to keep checking my speed on the way home.

    Any of you guys had or heard of a similar problem? Can't really drive at night because of this issue

    Thanks

    The dash lights work off the grey wire from memory.

    Yeah i should have done this before i posted...... I checked the fuse box right after i read tezza's post, and you were right NathanVS, Fuse 1 was half hanging out, pulled it out to check it wasn't blown and put it back in, whola, all working again

    Thanks for your help guys

    dang, i'm too late.
    if you were checking behind the dash and all that crap you should have put in some blue lights, always looks better then the dull green.
