I am still without cluster lights, all lights on my car work except ones on the dash,all wornning lights work, no lumanations are lit , i have done everything i know to do, anyone have any thoughts ? is there some other way to light the thing or what, Satterfield, old salt PS i have not removed the cluster again,not yet Thanks guys,

 

There is a dimmer control on the steering column, left side, just past the wheel position controls.

 

Yes, I had it off yesterday,looked fine,no skinned wires,or anything,soders looked fine,the little wheel works good, i guess i need to checked on replaceing it, anyway,Thanks for the input, Satterfield

 

There is a light control module for the instrument lights, behind the shroud on the steering column. On a RHD car, its on the left hand side. remove the shroud and you'll find it, it's a small black box, about the size of a matchbox and is a common enough fail item.

Maybe check that power is getting through the dimmer control to the actual module. On my donor car, the module was burned out and would blow fuses when the dimmer was turned up full, just past the "click" position, if you get my drift.

The fuse is in either the boot/trunk fusebox, or in one of the rear kickboard fuse boxes. can't remember which.

 

Okay , i will have a look, thanks for the input, guy, Satterfield

 

Here is a link to a thread re: my battle with the same. Unfortunately I never found a proper solution, so I had to resort to simply hardwiring the power wire to the dash lights directly to the power wire of the headlight toggle switch so whenever I turn on the headlights, it sends full power to the dash lighting. Taking this route means losing dimmer control, but as I'm sure you're finding out, that's still a hell of a lot better than driving at night with no dash lights at all.

Hello GUYS, I have fixed my dash lights, it was a wire on the switch it must have been in the wrong place or what ever,they work that's all that matters, if you have at problem look at the light switch , how do you guys get that steering cover back together ? i can not seem to do it, thanks for all the post guys, Satterfield

 

If you are having a problem getting the steering column shroud back on, make sure that the steering wheel is fully extended, outwards and maybe lowered a little, just to ensure that you are clear of the instrument cluster surround. Maybe that's your problem? It will always come apart more easily than it goes back together, Murphys' law!

 

yes you are right, Satterfield
