Post by: bobbertbear on 28 January 2009, 17:09:48

what would make my display go dim after changing the bulbs,in daylight you cant see it at all,in the dark you can,when i changed the bulbs and plugged it back in,it made a sound like a fuse blowing and thats when it went dim,like its on reduced power,any suggestions?

Take the instrument panel out and re-check bulbs then re-seat it firmly :)

blown one of the bulbs in display? or its not making great connection?

I'm assuming you have put proper bulbs in - those gay blue LEDs favoured by certain members, well, they will never work well in the display.
