gaz! 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Bit of a problem with my rado :/ When im driving at night and switch the lights on, the dash and controls for the heater etc dont light up, so i cant actually see how fast im going, which is a bit of a pain! ive taken the dash out, and everything seems to be plugged in and connected, do you guys have any suggesitons as to what it could be? the switch to turn the lights on and off lights up itself, but nothing else does! any thoughts? thanks, Gaz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted January 3, 2007 you haven't accidentally turned the ins light rheostat switch to low(the knurled bit beside the switch) by any chance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie 2 Posted January 3, 2007 The fuse box is located behind the storage tray just up from the bonnet release lever. (just down from the lightswitch) I cant think of anything else straightforward that it can be.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 3, 2007 It may be the prongs on the rheostat inside the light switch need bending back into place... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaz! 0 Posted January 9, 2007 well ive checked the fuses, had the dash out, checked the bulbs and connections etc still no luck with it had a few mates to look and they cant see the problem either might end up taking it somewhere professional to be honest as i really dont know where to start Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted January 10, 2007 do your number plate lights work ? does sound like the headlight switch to me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bohall 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Had the same problem with mine, bad connection somewhere. To test it wasn't the bulbs in the dash i got a piece of wire and ran it from the live on the switch (once lights are switched on) to the wire that comes out of the rhiostat (dash light dimmer). Hey presto it all came on. If thats the case, new switch methinks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
