Well, problem solved. And it wasnt what I thought initially. When I didnt have dash lights I assumed an old problem had raised its ugly head again. Not so though. When Ron mentioned fuse number 3, I had a look and sure enough it was blown. So why did that happen then? Time to find out....
I have just fitted an extra gauge, a voltmeter in fact, I reckoned this was the cause of the problem. Sure enough a further 3 blown fuses narrowed it down. The light bulb that came with the gauge had 2 wires instead of the usual 1. I fugured the 2nd one must be a separate earth. So thats what I did.... and thats what caused the fuse to blow. I replaced it with a spare single wire bulb and no problem.
So, what I thought was a problem wasnt, but it did point me towards where there was a different problem, so there lies the silver lining!
Mind you this thread may help other people who have a problem with their dash lights.
Thanks again to Derek and Ron for the help. Much appreciated!!
Hugh.
