'88 Burb instrument panel lights not working
« on: July 27, 2017, 10:35:19 PM »
Just picked up this new ride and the gauge lights don't work. Haven't started looking or troubleshooting, just thought I'd ask before I start this weekend.

Make sure the headlamp knob is rotated CCW.  Check the instrument lamps fuse.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

twist the headlight knob left to right in order to dim and brighten the gauge lights. If this doesnt work, check the fuse and or bulbs.
