Dash lights not working!

Rommy · 05-15-2006, 06:10 AM

Okay. I just bought a 1990 Supra. Engine is going put-put-put. Could be a blown headgasket, or just needs new spark plugs. Either way, I have a problem on my hands, and I've barely had the car 4 hours.

The instrument panel doesn't light up; speedometer, tachometer, etc. Apparently someone had stolen the radio. When it had been removed, the owner told me the dash lights stopped working. Anyone know a quick fix for this? A wire I need to hook up again?

I'm very familiar with car electronics, but I'd rather ask here first, in case someone new a quicker fix. I know I'll probably have to pull half the dash out anyways to put a new radio in.
