[Marsss]

I've checked all the fuses and every cable seems to be connected....

Maybe the bulbs in the cluster have shat itself? or the fuses in the actual cluster have blown?

Have fun taking the cluster out.

I have an auto elec down here Marsssssssssssssssss

but I doubt your willing to come to the gong to get it done ahahha

Make sure your brake lights/parkers are working man.

This happened when we put my headunit in.

Ended up being a fuse in the boot if I remember correctly. Also a wire on the actual cluster.

i dont know about 33's but on a 32 if the dimmer is unplugged then the dash lights wont work.. give that a check

happend to me, all other lights worked cept my speedo.. Locate the dim switch, it may be broken. I've just taped the 2 wires together.

Same here....

It still bemuses me that manufacturers ever bothered to put a dimmer switch in cars anyway.....

Why the f uck would you not want to see what speed your doing?

Anyway, check that, it's the most common problem.

The switch on mine was very tempremental....

[Marsss]

will do..

and Turd boy...glad to see you are always trying to state the obvious....STFU.

kthnx

Hey champ, had this happen in my s15 once, and thats cause the car runs so low, that the wiring harness to the fuse box got split, as the tyre scrubed out one of the wires which was the lights for the dash.

Have a look under your wheel arch at all the wiring harness that goes to the fuse box, this might be your problem

FAIL!

that is 100% NOT correct, theres no such thing.. The wires are direct and do not come from under the car.

Rember that your car is a S15!

they don't. they're aftermarket.. it's mandatory for all cars in australia to have one inorder to be complied.

Mine didnt/doesnt have one.

I think they changed the law or something.

i dont have one ether.. hmm

marss, check the usual. cluster plugs at the back, there is 3 there. also the parker fuse in the boot. and of course, the globes them selves, might of had a short and blown them all? duno. but not hard to check for once the cluster is out. its not hard, easy enough to pull out in 15mins or less.

neither does mine... it's been taken out.. there is a high chance that a previous owner had taken it off..

How does one install a dimmer switch??

My 33 doesnt have one either and the lights are just enough at night for me to see
