wijker Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 HI,When it's dark my speedometer will not light up. This is not very handy. Now ik can't see how fast (or slow) i'm driving. The light of the "tell tale warning lights" is working correct. This light i can dim with the panel light switch.Can someone tell me how to fix this? I took a quick look under the dash but i cannot find a lightbulb. I drive a 1975 cutlass supreme coupe.thanksBrenda Wijkerthe Netherlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 To start with, do you have a repair manual? The book is a must. I am not infinitly familar with this model, but most mid 70s cars dash boards are held togather with screws and a few interlocking pieces. Use a book to open the dash so as not to damage anything. The most likly cause of the problem is a burned out bulb. Inspect and test the bulb, if it is good test the bulb socket. If they are both good the fault must be in the wire. I presume you already checked the fuse and that other dash lights work. Good luck, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wijker Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Thanks for the answer. I hoped it would be something small but now i have to take the dashboard out and since i don't have a repair manual i can't do it myself. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />Better start looking for a repair manual.
