|
|
I suddenly I'm out of klock, spedometer and fuel gauge light on the dash of my 1967 SO-42. I need turn on the interiour light to see me cruise speed...
At first glance I do not see a broken fuse...
Is this a know issue with a know solution to some-one?

Thanks Everett.
I just sovled my PC monitor issue and could check the wiring diagram.
The cable you mentioned is the most likely cause.
I wil check tonight as soon as I get home! _________________ Frank

I just spend 2 hours under the dash...
I removed and reconnected the main light switch. I cleaned the connections.
All I can think if is that may light switch is worn out.
When en set the light on: outside lights oke, dash lights off. When I push the light swith up (while the outside lights are on) the dash lights go on.
The clock light remains off whil it gets juice. When I wronly connect the clock light I can make it light when all other lights are off (so the bulb is oke).
It now gets in the frustrating phase to get the clock light enabled. _________________ Frank

If you move the switch and the lights come on, sounds like a bad switch or a terminal is coming loose off the switch (the crimped/soldered spade terminals sticking out of the switch). You can sometimes fix switches by re-soldering the terminals and tightening up the contacts (remove cover). Go through and check for any terminals that need to be squeezed with some pliers. |

Another issue could be you don't have the dimmer portion all the way up. My panel has a worn out light switch, but only in the dimmer. If the dimmer is not all the up, the dash lights will not come on. _________________ 59 DD panel. Former Romano's TV delivery bus

Dimmer??
If I rotate the light switch I will remove the (black) button. Thats does not dim the light in my split.
The spedometer and fuel gauge light work again but I cannot get my clock or clock light to work anymore...
