Replaced dash - Problem with gauges

Post by Ma's Da »

I replaced the dash at the weekend and have no temperature gauge,petrol light and light for main beams (little blue light on gauge)
I've had the gauges back out to make sure all connections were tight and bulbs were ok, everything
seems fine

Is it possible the bulbs have burned out on the gas gauge and the high beams light?

as far as the tempurature gauge not working you are talking about the needle isn't raising?
This happened to me and I honestly don't know how i fixed it lol - I took the gauge back out and made sure the needle would go up and down so maybe it just got hung up or something

The gauges were made by Microsoft. If they fail, just shut everything down, unplug it, plug it back in, and fire everything up...
