Anyone guess what caused this?
« on: 19 February 2012, 08:15:16 »
Yesterday it suddenly started hailing, so I put my headlights on, as I did the dash lights went out.

Turn the headlights off - dash lights OK.

Turn headlights back on, no dash lights.

No prizes for guessing what the problem was.

Too easy, fooled me for a bit, had cleaned the inside the day before, must have moved the dimmer switch. ;D

Can I blame that on mid life ? oh good  :y
did the very same thing after fixing the stupid climate lights in the first place the day before, 1 1/2 hrs it took me to replace them, then on the way home the next night stupid lights were off, took the drive home to find out there even was a dimmer fitted lol  :-[ no idea how I moved it  ;D ???

been driving about with the front fogs for a few days after I bought it, didnt realise the green light on the dash was the fogs, thought it was telling me dipped beam was on, had that sort of indicator in another car, What are we like  ::)
