Ferrari 360 (No dashboard lights) please help

[yetie]

my 360 has lost its dashboard lights - the needles and petrol clock light up by not the others (checked the fuse - seems ok)
the dash dimmer switch when pressed is at 15 it shows an x in the screen as well does this mean a bulb as gone ?

This happened to me, if i rember right you have to press and hold the first button on the dash (not the one that resets the trip) it ajusts the brightness .

[yetie]

tried holding button in but number for brightness goes up but lights dont come on
but that screen shows a x in it - what does the x indicate

[weepee]

the only other thing is, switch the master reset. off then on and check your batt.if the batt is stuffed all sort of things won,t come on (again happened to me.) and sorry i don,t know what the x means.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I have this problem on mine and was told by Verdi’s that it required a new instrument binnacle at upwards of 1K! I have also checked the fuse and adjusted the dash illuminations to the max level using the buttons. So I have had no dash lights (apart from needles and warning lights) for over a year now.

I would not recommend a main dealer for the fix. Think my friend got quoted 2.5k.

Indy's like Verdi's can fix it for around 1k which is alot more reasonable.

Mine went too! Except it was the dials... Dealer also quoted £2.5k. SO i just told the to poke it and learnt to drive from the sound of the Tubi...

Seems to be a common (expensive to fix) problem though!
