Guage Lights Not Working

Shawn_John_07 · 12-05-2010, 07:45 PM

I just bought a 1988 Supra Turbo and the gauge lights aren't working at all. I know almost nothing about cars, so I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when I turn on the headlights the temperature LED turns off too. I thought maybe a fuse or dimmer switch or something. Any ideas?

Pull the dimmer out and jumper the white wire with black stripe to the white wire with green stripe. The your marker lights are also out then skip that and start with replacing the 15A TAIL fuse.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try it out once the snow melts.
