has anyone got any they could scan and send me? worked out my dash doesn't light up because the silly things are blocking the OE dash lights, so need to try and get them working, but they are a mess of various wires and connectors so and wiring diagrams / instructions anyone has would be great.

 

making do with the bltiz R-vit instead of a rev counter, but not being able to see fuel or speed at night is getting annoying.

Normally each dial face has a wire and connector, these all link up (snake like loom) to an invertor, then a dimmer/switch, the invertor is wired to the existing light circuit, either the two screws at the bottom of the dash ( normally for back light bulbs), light pod or to the the circuitry on the rear of the dash.

If you have the dimmer visible, check the wires on the rear, these tend to have a wire off or solder come off. Check the switch, which changes the colour and check the dimmer dial.

thanks,

 

found the inverter and the dimmer, they appeared to be connected ok, but its the wires on the dials that are a mess, but none of them light up so its probably a bigger problem, so i was going to try and re wire the whole system,

 

failing that are they just stuck to they normally stuck to the old dials could i just remove them in theory?

You should also check and see if the inverter is buzzing when you switch your sidelights on.

 

Your needles should still be stock red illuminated though with as Graham says the clocks 4 back light bulbs, just that you cannot see the dial faces they are sat in front of :sad:.

 

Depending on what glue is holding them on yes they will pull or pry off but will leave no doubt some unsightly residue.

nothing was buzzing, should it be? never had anything like this before.

Yes it should be buzzing away, it is feeding all 6 faces with a wire to each so it's unimaginable that all the faces have failed, you cannot even connect up incorrectly either as they only plug one way or not at all, sounds to me like your inverter as failed or very simply it aint connected up :sad:.
