The rotating switch uses a variable resistor. It is quite possible that you are only 1 ignition lock cylinder away from restoring your lights. An hour later, the contact noticed that the vehicle displayed difficulty stopping. One side of a two contact bulb could be…. Where is help for the consumer????. Please or to join the conversation. After 5 minutes of resetting the instruments, the gauges will reset.
You should go on the pay line. Often upon inserting key in ignition, drivers seat would zoom forward pushing occupant against steering wheel. You can often fix this by removing the fuse panel and repairing the terminal from the backside. The current and failure mileages were approximately 49,000. You lose all indication of what gear you are in and of the odometer reading. Yes I ruled it to be a switch a while back in my truck, my subs, a bump, or rough road would make them dim.
Did you find and correct the condition? The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and they advised the contact that the instrumental cluster needed to be replaced. In fact, when demand becomes so strong, that Amazon gets in the game of supplying replacement switches, consumers benefit. The illumination fuse mentioned above can suffer from a power input problem. I bought the truck with the dash lights already out and not working, he did install a aftermarket stereo. Dealership says no recall; not their resposibility. The consumer stated he did not know how fast he was driving, since the speedometer was inoperative.
Previous issue with the instrument panel cluster going out, causing speedometer to become inoperative. While driving at 65 mph, the contact noticed that the abs light illuminated on the instrument panel. An example of the strange behavior: Dimmer switch set to full bright, interior lights dim all the way to off. They have problems with the printed circuit boards on the back of the cluster. Under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click headlamps. Since I cannot trust the accuracy of any gauge, I have no idea how fast I am driving or any of the other vital instrument readings. The key take away here is when the headlight dimmer switch fails the instrument cluster back lighting flickers or is intermittent.
I'd look underneath the box for some non-factory wiring, and check and clean the termination points. Did you complete the replacement? Do the low beam headlamps illuminate? I believe the radio connector is 12047531, on that connector it is pin 7 gray wire , circuit number 8, function - instrument panel lamp feed. I've looked for a blown fuse on the inside fuse panel and on the under hood fuse panel but did not find anything. Go to Step 19 -- 15 Replace the low beam relay. Also note that improperly installed wiring tapping power and ground in the wrong locations can create challenging. Sometimes the stabilitrak would work and at times it would not work July 2009 to January 2010- reduced engine power almost cause 2 wrecks could not perform a diagnosis. Did you mean checking the ground maybe one of the other plugs that plug into the junction box? Diagnosing the Dash Lights Broken Problem As you probably figured out by now I believe that in most cases that the root cause of the instrument cluster back lighting problem resides with the headlight dimmer switch.
I was also told that these they have seen a lot of these vehicles with the same problem. You're right, the chances of both sides going bad are poor to none. I'll send ya one for cheap if you still need one. The current mileage was 72,500 and failure mileage was 72,300. At the bottom of the speedometer are the lights that indicate the position of the shifter park, reverse, neutral, overdrive, and gears 3,2 and 1 and also the odometer reading. Anyone figure this out yet? I agree I'd try a junkyard switch for confirmation.
I am elated to have a solution. Also bulbs burned out in it making it unreadable at night. The vehicle was not repaired. Unable to determine actual speed. I'm about to run to the parts store and get one. Go to Step 15 Go to Step 12 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the headlamp switch. Pulled my old switch apart had to see how it worked and possibly why it failed and there was green corrosion on one of the copper contacts for the dimmer switch.
Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Furthermore you can usually get the dash back lights working again by playing with the dimmer wheel. Refer to Headlamp Assembly or Headlamp Bulb Replacement. Reduced engine power almost caused wreck.
Previous issue with the instrument panel cluster going out, causing speedometer to become inoperative. What suggestions do you have? You'll never find the problem this way. Reduced engine power almost caused wreck. The contact stated that the rear suspension, front suspension, and starter support showed excessive rust. The current and failure mileages were approximately 49,000. They come on when you roll the dimmer switch all the way to make the overhead light come on.
