Replying to: dgatch (Jul 14, 2008 4:58 pm) I have a similar problem. The background light to the speedometer, tach, and gearshift selector suddenly went out. I can't see how fast I'm driving at night. I've taken the dash apart 6 times, found no loose connections, checked every fuse. Any ideas where to look? The dealer told me they'd have to tear it apart and look for broken connections, which is what I did. Replies to this message: asa (Sep 24, 2009 1:26 pm)
