Hi everyone, I just noticed that my Hiace Commuter petrol 1997 just lost the instrument light/s. I checked the gauge fuse and that is ok. It looks likely to be a blown dash bulb? BTW the indicators, radio and all warning lights work fine. Any suggestions like a diagram on how to get the dash out if it's bulb in there? :g:

I got the dash out! Checked all the bulbs with a multimeter and they were ok. All fuses are ok. What's left - the brightness knob? There's an IC, mosfet and other gear inside there. Any suggestions? :wacko:

Is power getting to the fuse?

Is power getting to the dashboard power supply?

It sounds like you know your way with a multimeter so you can find where power enters. You could then override to power supply by running a temporary wire from battery to the power feed point at the dashboard. If the dash lights etc return then you have identified the problem.

Rather than trace the fault, it may be easier to just fit a new wire in between the light switch and the dashboard, problem solved. Get your soldering iron out at that point.
