Default Dash lights?

If I use the stork to switch the side lights on the dashboard doesn't illuminate thought the lights do actually come on.

All fuses under the dash are fine - anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,

Rob.

Dodgy switch?

Check your rear lights come on as they are usually linked to dash lights.

Hi - all the lights do come on, front and rear side-lights and the main beams, just the dash lights which don't?

Cheers,

Rob.

Do all the gauges on your dash work?
If so it more than likely the bulbs in the dash that have gone. 10 min job to change them. Could also be one of the wiring connectors that is loose on the dash pod itself. Again you can check this first by removing the dash pod (by this I mean the unit where the speedo, rev counter and fuel/temp etc reside - not a big job) if they are okay then as pod is removed anyway you can then check the bulbs. (good time to fit replacement dials as well if you want!)

Thanks for the reply.
The guages all work fine and the rest of the lights come on with the ignition, its just the back-lights when the side lights / main beams go on.

I never thought about the bulbs - I'll give them a check over and hopefully its something as straight forward as that.

Cheers,

Rob.
