    OBC light bar is good, but no light? After dash replacement.

    I replaced my dash and my OBC light doesnt work anymore. I have two known good light bars and they both dont light up the OBC. Did I not hook something up? I feel like this is a noob question but couldnt find anything when searched.

      You have to measure the contacts with a meter to be sure. Known good isn't good enough with these things. If one filament breaks the whole thing won't work because they are in series. Measure it first and verify that it's good. Did you remember to plug in the OBC connector?

          THIS

          I did my OBC swap and my obc started tripping balls and I couldn't figure out why. It ended up being my connector barely being connected to the obc. Plugged it all the way in and it worked perfect.

              Are you talking about the green connector with the black clip - or the one wire connector with the white housing?

                  didn't want to start a new thread so bumping an old.

                  the display on my obc lights up and shows color perfectly, but the buttons do not light up. any idea if its a simple bulb that i should plug in or??...
