Hello All



I was driving around last night and all of a sudden the control panel lights went out. Today I checked the fuse for illumination (15A) and it was fine. What could it be? I have a 1988 Turbo II.



Thanks,

RL

Check the dimmer switch on the headlight swicth.. My dash lights don't come on sometimes so I wiggle it around and then they turn on.. I will probably take apart one of my extra ones and re-solder everything..

The dash lights use to flicker when I messed aroung with the dimmer switch ... so maybe that is it. Is there anything in particular I should look out for when looking at dimmer switch? Thanks in advance

I havent taken it apart yet.. but all the switches in these cars are prone to this type of problem, so maybe a bad contact on the inside of the switch is makin the problem.. If I figure out how to fix it I will do a write up..
