Ilummi lights out at Cluster
Posted: July 14th, 2010, 11:25 am
Hey there,
kinda new MX-3 owner in Sweden here, I bought a way to cheap one because i've had loads of problems.
At the moment the most annoying one is as follows, I have No illummi lights in my cluster at all. The other lights in the cluster works fine it seems, at least the ones I've tried or seen such as L/R indicators, headlights etc etc. My problem is of course if I drive when it's dark I have NO HVAC lighting.
After troubleshooting some I realized I need to ask people that knwo this or has done it before. I tried and measure the V on the connection to the dimmer switch itself and had nothing. If I measured ohm over the switch itself it was constant no matter how I rolled the dimmer around 180ohm or something.
I tried measuring the ground for contact and that gave response but my troubleshooting kinda stopped when I didn't know where to check for 12v. So my question is either tips where to go from now or where to check a solid place that 12v comes from to verify cable integrity. I checked the bulbs and they seem ok.
This was working before last winter when I stopped using the car and not working when I started using it this summer.
Thanks beforehand.
