Thread: Dashlights not working

I've checked all the original bulbs and they're all ok. Being little incandescent type bulbs, I wouldn't think they have any polarity to worry about, even though I did try them both ways.

I've checked the corresponding fuses, and they're fine, and the devices running off the same fuses work OK.

So, I'm now scratching my head, and a little worried this mine mean a costly trip to the auto-elec.

Anybody able to offer any suggestions (apart from leave the bloody things alone if they're all working!).

BTW, all the warning lights seem to be working fine.

do you have a dimmer for the dash lights in the defenders? me and a mate were working on the rangie the other day (similar prob) realised we forgot to plug the dimmer back in

LOL - not in a Defender. That's the first thing I looked for when I noticed how dim they were after I bought it
