brom86 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey got in the car the other night and none of my dash lights came on. Drove home on the dark. All speedo ones are off, heater controls ect and glove box oh and the auto lever lights. My headlights are ok and the main red triangle (hand brake) light is ok with the small auto gear light (1,2,d, n, r) are on when in gear. A changed the (panel) 10 amp fuse in the fuse box in drivers foot well but blew straight away. Not been fiddling about with anything before the issue. Anyone any ideas what could be causing this? Could it be the actually indicator stalk which is faulty and blowing the fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraP-Z Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) ---EDIT--- i didnt read you've already changed the fuse. Are the heater control and speedo dash lights seperate circuits? Edited June 25, 2015 by SupraP-Z my contribution is of no help to the OP (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike2JZ Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Does it blow the fuse everytime you put a new one in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brom86 Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yeah. They are old ones tbh a don't know if that will make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yeah. They are old ones tbh a don't know if that will make a difference The only reason I ask is because I had a similar issue where my dash lights went out a few months ago and the fuse was blown. I never really got to the bottom of why it happened, but it took two new fuses before it stabilized and I no longer had the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brom86 Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Mmmm ok then ill buy new fuses and see how it goes. Seen online something to do with the dimmer switch being like a resistor. Could it be that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
