    Replacing dash light bulbs

    Originally nether the ammeter/temp and the speedometer lights didn't work and seperately the gear indicator didn't work. I cleaned all the contacts and made sure all grounds were good and now all the lights work perfectly! The dimmer/rheostat works like it should as well. Even the radio and fan...

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    I could just find a wire that gets power when the key is on correct? But before I do that I am going to try and see If I can solve the bulb not working, because I don't really want to put in another gauge...already have temp, oil pressure and a tach, less clutter the better! lol Also for...

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    I don't think its cracked, but it looks like the copper track is kinda lifted from the circuit board beside the bulb that isn't working, its still connected though. Maybe thats whats causing the issue? I dont care about the illumination of the temp gauge, it doesnt work so I installed a...

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    Did not know that was the point of the dimmer switch. There is no power going to the shift indicator lamp, and the bulb is good, I put a brand new one in there. And I think I found the ground cable as well and it was grounded, don't know why I don't have power to it. Where is the column door...

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    I actually just went and sprayed some contact cleaner on it and started twisting it a whole bunch, and the dash lights came on! But for whatever reason I still don't have the bulb that lights up the ammeter and temp gauge, I put in a new bulb and still doesn't work! What could that be? Also...

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    I'm pretty sure that is the problem, but how can I jumper it? And is it common for the rheostat to go bad?

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    So I tested the wires that go to the switch, there is power before the switch, and after on the copper tracks I have nothing. So does that confirm the dimmer/rheostat is bad?

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    None of those things work, yet they all have good bulbs. So could the rheostat be my problem? Because it seems like everything that it controls doesn't work. Is it hard to replace it? The copper track is nice and clean already so I don't think I need to touch it.

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    I just tested and nothing on the left side track, but there is power on the other side. Could it be the switch? The dimmer doesn't do anything, the only thing that happens when I turn the switch is the dome light eventually turns on.

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    So I ended up just half pulling out the cluster, I could reach around and put the new bulbs in. The oil, brake, both signal lights, high beam indicator, and seat belt light all work, but the gauges dont seem to light up. All the connections on the bulb holders looked brand new essentially, and...

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    Well I can reach most of them, the only one I cant reach is the brake light on the far right of the dash, I will try and wiggle my hand in there and grab it though. I would just leave it usually but because of the inspection all the lights need to work.

    Replacing dash light bulbs

    What is the best way to change the light bulbs in the dash? Currently only the seatbelt, fuel, and oil pressure light work, and I need them to work before I can get it inspected and insured. Can I change them without taking out the instrument panel? and it is a column shift with the gear...

    Dart dash removal

    If I remember correctly we had to take the windshield out when we took the dash out of my cousins 67 dart. Just be really careful when you are taking the chrome strips around the windshield, make sure you don't bend it because that stuff is sometimes hard to find. Hopefully some other people...
