Dash / Cluster lights problem

10-29-2009, 09:53 PM

Alright, none of my guage cluster lights are working and neither are the center console lights. Checked the ground under the steering wheel it's tight. Hooked up a multimeter to the ground and there is continuity to all the bulbs and even 12v. All the bulbs are in working order too. Any ideas?

Try turning the headlight adjustment knob dimmer to the on position!

The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!

If none of the dash lights are working, the most likely candidates would be a blown fuse or bad dimmer in the head light switch.

The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Fuse is present, dimmer set to full on. I'll get a new dimmer switch.
