Dashboard/Instrument lights

[SwanJack]

All of my instrument lights have decided to pack up. Anyone know if they are on a fuse of their own? The instruments themselves still work and the battery has recently been disconnected. Any ideas?
Cheers in advance of any help.

I thought those in my Griffith had failed (just as I was driving it home after purchase!) On my return I called the seller and he said there was a switch under the dash. There was - I pressed it - and all the lights came back on.

Hope it's as easy for you!

I found that button on the left hand side of the steering wheel under the dash on the way home after picking up the car. Couldn't understand what it was - it was light at the time - came to the conclusion that I hadn't read Steve's book properly and that it was the electric hood retraction button. Needless to say I waited until I was stationery in front of a crowd before I pushed it - just in case!!

I don't think its anything to do with that switch as the lights dont work when its in or out.

May be worth checking that a connection to it hasn't come loose though. You should be able to just prise the switch out.
