No dash illumination?

[mrzigazaga]

Hi Peeps...Just went outside to move the car and notice i don't have any dash illumination, I have the centre console so the octopus is working, Checked all the fuses and they are ok..The ignition light, Fan, Horn and cigarette lighter all work..Is there a relay or could it be a posse wire...Cheers...Ziga

Dimmer switch on the side of the steering column shroud ?

Dimmer driver behind the wheel? ;^)

If it's a switch they have an 'off' position. If it's a pot sometimes they have duff positions just tweak it back and forth to clean it up inside.

Yeah...I have a post it note on the dash now..It reads..."Note to self...Be careful when you clean your knob on the dash..As twisting it too much will make it dark...

One thing to watch out for... avoid using it at 'almost-full' brightness as this can cook the carbon track and it'll burn out rendering the thing useless. Either full-on or 'quite a bit dim'

yet happened to me too. Doh

Cheers mate..I made it out of an old tyre i had laying about...Also made some shoes...They are good for traction but make your feet smell like burnt toast..

on my 280 its a 3 position switch in the centre console I'm forever knocking it changing gear.....but then I use the centre consle as an arm rest most of the time...

Hope you sort it Zig.
