dash lights

[Guest Sue_n_Gary]

ive recently bought a supra and after getting it home and night came i realised that the ilumination around the clocks dont light up.ive checked all fuses and everyone is fine.ive had the clocks out today and there fine aswell.ive done a search on the net and apparently theres some wires behind the stereo that can cause this but was just wondering if anybody has had this problem before i disect my wiring behind my dash.

Sounds me very much like a portion of the loom may have been cut/nicked/connected incorrectly. Grab some diagrams and have a look at what has changed.

well thats easier said than done.lol the person i bought it off has made a right mess of the wiring in the car.ive had to pretty much rewire the full car.i just carnt get the dash lights to work.wiring is all over the place

we had this problem re check that the connection on the dimmer is good as it can cut all your lights if you have a spare check it with that

Do you know there is 2 fuse boxes in supra? One you should check is hidden right next to gas pedal under plastic cover.

If backlight under fuel/temp gauges is still working, check bulbs and check for any cracks around speedo/rev counter lights. All are powered from same connector.
