Hi all,
The other week the light for the odometer went and thinking it was just the bulb I got some replacements and some LED's to put in for the dials while I was in there.
I tried 3 or 4 bulbs and touching the legs of an LED across the contacts and don't seem to be getting any power to that socket. I've not had a multimeter out on it yet as I've put it somewhere safe and can't find it. Everything else on the instrument cluster is working fine so it's not a major problem but it's bugging me.
Is this a common problem or is there something else I should be checking to get this working?
If all else fails I may try sourcing another unit in the future. Would it just be a straight swap without having to worry about the mileage and what not? I ***ume that the mileage is stored elsewhere and just sent to the display rather than stored on it.
While I'm on the subject of duff bulbs.
Some of the tiny ones in the cruise, fog, and hazard switches seem to have packed in as well. They look very tiny and would probably come complete with the holders. Is it possible to get these from anywhere or would it be better to mod them with some suitable LED's?
