Dash lights out
I know someone posted how to do this, can you post again? How hard is it? What else can I check before I take it all apart?
Thanks |
U check u fuses?
|
Yeah I did, I think the bulbs are most likely toasted, or wires. I know the 99's are known for electrical problems.

Hey that tutorial is exactly what I was looking for, but I wan to change the back light on my 2002 B-2300 from the stock green to blue, and was wondering if it was a piece of tinted hard plastic over all the bulbs or what, do you know STL?
Thanks, -TD |

kinda crappy pic but you get the idea lol. White face gauges out of an explorer with blue LED's http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...3/IMG_0330.jpg |
^oh wow I've already peeled them out and new the paint was on the back but I never thought of sanding them! great idea!
Damn though, I wish I had white not black. I was thinking about printing up some vynal stickers and having them cut at kinkos but I like this idea better, a little more, possible. haha thanks! -TD EDIT: when you pulled off the gaugues, how did you put them back on in the perfect spot? I figure if I fill up the gas tank I can get that, and run it for a while and throw the temp gaugue on where it always rests in the middle, but what about the speedometer? I'm afraid it'll throw everything outa whack. -TD |
Couldn't you take a piece of paper and put it over the needles before you take them out and mark it. Have sort of like a template when you go to put it back together.
|
you gotta "calibrate" the speedometer. the tach you can just put back on when the truck is running if you remember your idle rpm making it easy. There is a how-to on R/F but i can't find it cuz im banned lol
shane wrote it out ill ask him later on for it |
I'll post it later.
OP....whats the problem now? You know 99's are known for electrical problems? Ummmmmmmmm not really there bud. Have you checked your dimmer switch?? If there's a damaged wire there or even if the dimmer is toast, the dash lights won't light up.... |
I got the how-to up in the how-to section of the site.
|
2 screws under radio, 4 screws under kik plate. 3-4 screws on dash bezel . 4 screws on dash window. 3 up under ceiling of dash. (be sure to remove hl light switch front knob and back elec plug. no need to remove elec plugs on bac of dash if u have tight fingers. remove lamp sockets (6) 1/4 turn cc, replace with 916 bulbs, there u go. Not real difficult. Just a little patience and a few scews.

Re: Dash lights out
Hi everyone im gonna post this on this thread just incase anyone has issues with putting in new led 194s in. Youve followed the tutorial above you get everything back together and your lights now are not working which was/is my case right now, i cleaned all the connections/leads and the lead/tongs on the black pieces you twisted off earlier but still nothing, it was a good precaution. I solved my problem by reversing the led in the holder 180 degrees just turning the led around and boom! Do this to all 6 of them and should work like a charm, hopefully this solves someone elses problems!
