Hello Everyone
I have posted the first part of this question in another thread about 12 months ago and was not able to come up with a fix. So my apologies if you have read this question in another thread. Well.... About 2 years ago I bought an AUII ute and the odo backing light(s) did not work. I tried some second hand genuine ones (they did work in the other car) and some after market ones. However I was never able to get the odo lights to work. Now the clock backing light has also stopped working and I have changed the globes around and the light still does not work. Is there anyway of testing the globes and or circuits of the odo and clock or have I simply missed something simple? Thanks Last edited by PG2; 04-01-2014 at 07:58 PM. Reason: error |

You can test the bulbs with a multimeter to see if they have a circuit.
I changed many bulbs in the day, you have to insert and twist them IIRC. |

Tested the bulbs today and they are OK.
Tried about half a dozen bulbs in the clock and cluster and turned them 180 degrees but still no luck. All of the other interior lights work in the cluster and centre piece around the fan controls etc. It has got me thinking - does the BEM control the LCD illumination on the clock and cluster? Could this be my problem? |

test the circuit on the binicle where he globes twist in. No power there no lights. If power is there your globes are faulty or not installed correctly. Im betting the circuit has died.

cluster circuit I presume. I don't know if the BEM or other computer controls the lighting.
You could test continuity through the cluster by attaching the tester to the globe circuit and the corresponding pin in the plug..Trial and error Im afraid to identify the pin unless you have a wiring diagram. If you have continuity the lighting is controlled elsewhere and not feeding the circuit. If no continuity is a dead circuit in the cluster/binacle. Thats how Id test it. JP |
