You mean the bulb is burnt? If so, you have to remove instrument cluster and replace the bulb. There are procedures how to remove the cluster in Technical Manual, e.g. https://www.sl113.org/wiki/Electrical/Rheostat

Since it is a relatively demanding process, you may want to think what to do once you are there, e.g.:
1. Replace all the bulbs (this is what I would do), including tacho and speedometer
2. Consider LED replacements (lots of posts about it)
3. Connections cleaning, rheostat maintenance

Jerry,

I highly recommend you join as a full member, the $30 annual fee is one of the best investments a Pagoda owner can make. Most all questions you have are answered there.
