The dash lights and console lights on my MB 300E 1987 will not work. The inst cluster and radio lights do work. Where would you suggest I look?

If you want to learn about how to repair and maintain your car, I strongly reccommend Haynes manuals. They show details of electrical systems and many other systems.

Start with the fuse box. Look for inst clus fuse usually 20a but this can very. If the fuse is good you have a bad ground most likely. Try that and reply back if not. Hope this helps

SOURCE: Center console lights are out on 2003 Accord

Let me guess, the Hazard light is the only light to the right of the dash that comes on? You can still use your temp control and radio but you cannot see the display? You are in luck, Honda did a recal on some stupid module that blew to cause that problem. It happened to me, here is the trick, call Honda USA (800 number on their website) and report the problem. They will notifiy your local dealership so when you come in it will be covered for free under the recall. MAKE SURE YOU CALL HONDA USA if you don't your dealership might try to charge you for it, costs in the neighborhood of $500! Good Luck!

SOURCE: 98 VW Golf GL (Manual) Dash lights out!

As with everything else electrical check your fuses first. If you don't have a map of your fuse box just pull them out one at a time and check them.. blown ones will be easy to spot. If all the fuses are good, check the dimmer knob for your interior lights (roll it back and forth a few times) If the lights come on at one certain spot but go out again, it's the dimmer gone bad. If they don't come on at all pull the switch out and check for power with a test light. If power bad dimmer... if still no power bad headlight switch.... Hope this helps...;-)

I have a 2000 Pontiac grand am GT , the lights in the instrument panel and radio went out. radio doesnt turn on check engine and all those other lights work just not the gas/speed/temp lights.

Hi!!
Make sure the DIMMER Switch on the left of the dashboard was not turned OFF inadvertently, it happens a lot while wiping the board clean, if OK, check the INST. LIGHTS 10A fuse located on the passenger side under dashboard.
Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa!!

I just want to know if dash lights and radio lights can be changed?

I have never seen one you couldn't change. You will probably have to take the instrument cluster and the radio out. Little bulbs plug in the back of the inst cluster. The radio might have a bulb down through the top or you might have to take the face off the radio to find it. I have changed both before.

Dash lights dont work

Check the fuse, ( if you already haven't done so), usually marked instrument cluster, or inst cluster.

Instruments lamps don't turn on in Mercedes 300E 1992

First
Make sure your dash "dimmer" is not turned all the way done, its a small rod thats twists clockwise to increase dash illumination, counter clockwise to decrease...
Next..the bulbs in the back of the gauge cluster might be burned out , if they are the original bulbs, thats probably the case...
