speedo and illuminating lights
Hi guys, have a problem with speedo and illuminating lights not working on my clocks, the rev clock works and the digital clock works, but speedo and illuminating lights dont, i have taken clocks out and checked the blue circuit behind and it seems ok, i have tested the bulbs and they work fine. anyone got any ideas?

The bulbs sometimes need a little bit of twisting in the socket or the little tabs for the connection pulled up to make a better contact.

i take it the rest of the dash (or at least some of it!) lights up ok? the pins in the clock plug can sometimes get a bit squashed, if you open the flap on the back you can pop the pins out for easier access to bend them back, also the contact pads on the pcb film can wear.
the dash lighting feed is the grey/blue wire, check this has 12v with the lights on too
