Hey Everyone
Driving to work yesterday morning, my dash light were not working, they had been previously, the dome light/rheostat thingy too.
I thought it may be due to something in the fender turn signal wire i was messing with the day before, so i unplugged it, no change. .
No dash lights, including radio, clock, Temp, speedo, etc
Some other info....
The fender signal wire goes into the parking lights circuit, and they are working.
Tail lights, front parking lights, headlights, licence light and brake lights are working.
Dome light, map light and turn signals in the dash as well as external lights are working. The buzzer thingy works also. Flashers work.
Horn works, wipers and washer squirter works, radio, no antenna, but you roll the switch and you can hear it make its little turn on noise and its radio static noise.
I looked at the fuse yesterday afternoon, pulled it out, it was good, put another in same issue, no dash lights.
Looking at the wiring diagram, i notice a orange wire from the opposite fuse going to the turn signal switch and also up to the No 1 Pin on the cluster, would this be bad??
There is also a pink wire going to the trunk light, which runs to another fuse which is not working, i suddenly remembered, i may go unplug this and see what happens at lunch.
My door switch, i was playing with last night, the right one worked, the left one didnt, i suspected a ground issue.
It apparently uses the body as ground, they guy who had the car did a awsome prep and paint job on the car, too good, as there is a bunch of paint in the threads.
I cleaned them, screwed the switch in, it worked for two door openings, then the light didnt work, unscrewed it a little it worked twice then didnt.
Wondering if this could be the issue. What does everyone think. I will check that other fuse at lunch later and let everyone know.
