Hi folks!
Today I lost the lights on half my rallye dash - not the blinkers, high beam, etc, just the background illumination.
I took the dash out of the car and found that the two bulbs which are not working take power from the same wire/pin. (Please see picture attached)
I then had a look at the conector which plugs into the 3 pins on the back of the dash - this is what I found (see picture).
1 - Pink wire has continuity to ground (blinkers)
2 - Brown wire does not have continuity (maybe the problem?)
3 - Blue wire has continuity to ground (high beam)
I'm not an electrician and to be honest, pretty ignorant about electrics, but it looks to me that the brown wire is at fault somewhere.
So the questions are:
a) Am I going about this the right way?
b) Where does the brown wire come from? In case I need to check for faults...
Cheers!
