I tried to install A/f guage, but did not do it correctly. Thats when it started.

im guessing this is an illuminated gauge and that you wired it to come on with your stock gauges. check the wiring that you used to tap into and see if its connected.

installed a/f guage and it works fine , but i dont know how to fix dash light .

check the grounding wire, it can come out easy on the back of the cluster, still look at all wires

i have the same problem. no dash lights or climate control lights. fuses are good. mine happened when i slammed 2nd gear pretty hard.

can someone post a wiring schematic for the dash lights?


thanks

how did you splice into the wire for your gauge? to the other guy, do you have any aftermarket stuff that is illuminated? indiglo gauges or anything?

 

[TurboDSM86]

i have nothing aftermarket like indiglo gauges

 

[justin0469]

well the one thing that keeps comin to mind is the grounding wire attached to the back of the gauge cluster, that wouldnt come out from a hard shift but it could just be a coincidence...

im almost positive its your DIMMER SWITCH. i just fixed mine today. every interior light was dead. just unplug the dimmer switch harness from the back side and splice into the(black/yellow) wire and then ground it. it'll work. just that now u cant dim the lights unless u get a new switch.

 

[TurboDSM86]

could you please give me an explanation of the splicing and grounding the yellow/black wire?

i dont follow

sorry
