Hi ppl,
I’m in need of some urgent help…
I’ve sold the skyline, so I thought I’d be nice and go and put some fuel in it for the buyer… anyway turns out that I get defected on the way to the servo for a boost gauge. I pulled the gauge out and took it to a local workshop to get the defect cleared, then as I was driving home to put the gauge in I accidentally touched both of the power wires (the wires that connect to the bulb in the gauge) with my fingers. Immediately this shut off all of the dash lights. I noticed that all the warning lights still work (hazards, handbrake, engine, etc…) the only lights that don’t work are the instrument lights that illuminate the speedo and other gauges.
I thought it may have been a fuse, but I have pulled out the associated fuses (used the fuse chart found here http://www.overflow.250x.com/tips.htm) and replaced them with new ones, but the dash is still not working.
I thought that it may have blown the dimmer, so I have cut the wires going to the dimmer and joined them together.. still nothing.
Next, I cut the wires going to the boost gauge, still nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? The bloke is supposed to be coming later tonight to pick up the car and I would really like to have the problem fixed by then. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
