Title: Console lights? inop
Post by: n/a on July 20, 2004, 16:44:08

I was out tonight oh in the great English Weather (Rain)
and when I turned on the lights I noticed that the lights
on the dials didn't come on, would this just be bulbs?
I tried turning the dimmer but still nothing the gear shift
leaver on the auto floor change was lit though.
Pagoda Red P.S Aren't these cars great!

What I find is that you have to fuss with the dimmer knob while the car is moving (at night, of course). It is generally just a matter of adjustment. Play with it by turning it back & forth and see what happens.

The dimmer on these cars were never the greatest. I bypassed mine so that it's always on high.
