dash lights

[superior]

could anyone enlighten me as to why my dash lights have stopped working, all warning lights and the computer still light up but the rest dont, also rear number plate light doesnt work checked the relevent fuse and its fine????????

any ideas where to look next would be appreciated

also ive been told the marks on the speedo are caused by the bulbs true or false?

please help dont want to look behind the clocks if its more basic than that

Yeah the bulbs do cause pealing from the speedo face, you can buy them new as I did recently then gave it to s2driveruk very cheap.

have you check the dimmer switch on the temp gauge is turned up?

Double check your fuse box. It is not labelled very well and you should be looking for a 5A fuse.

If you have lost the dash lights AND the rear number plate lights, it is definitely the same circuit and highly likely to the fuse....

HTH

Take the instrument cluster out and check all your connectors are in properly.

Have you done any work on the car recently that could have disturbed anything?

I would have put money on it being the fuse

Cheers,
