I just noticed this while looking at pics of other members interiors in the dark. Behind the little pic of what the button is, theres a bulb that is verrryyy tiny… It kinda looks like the ones found on the top of the gauge cluster and in the climate control. The problem is that i dont know what the size is. If anybody could let me know what the bulb size they are id love you for a long time. Well fine, that was a lie. Only for a bit… till i get bored/used to the lights working
Pics:
My dash: As you can see, on the lower right of the pic theres the activation light on but the button light doesnt come on
Yeah I can, but I was wondering if maybe theres a relay or something that may have died or that what the pic shows is a diy job. While at canadan tire, i couldnt find anything that looked like it.
hmmm, after dicking around with the buttons/wiring today, I realised that its not the bulbs that are dead, because when i switched the bulbs from the activation bulb spot to the “picture” bulb spot, the "picture wouldnt light up but again the activation light would work. Im stumped. I even took the buttons apart and checked the soldering on the boards but everything looked ok. If it makes any difference, its a 90 GS. Can anybody else with a 90-91 show a pic or tell if their lights work or not? PLEASE I MUST KNOW!!!
If it’s the push button lights like the fog and the rear window defroster you’re talking about… go to the junkyard like I did and take them. The guy told me to just keep em… he said most likely people would have just pocketed them and never asked. If it ain’t those lights then I totally sound off.
thats exactly what i was thinking but its not like just one died, its all of them. I tried tracing the wires down the line to find a relay or something but came up empty handed. I REALY would like to find out what the hell the prob is. I put a wtb ad on a local import site and hopefully i can find some to test with let alone buy
have you verified if you have an electric flow between the 2 contacts where your bulb goes using a multimeter? if you do, then maybe your 2 plates dont touch the connectors of the light bulb (the 2 little wires on the plastic holder). verify that and let us know
Nope. Theres nothing coming through there. And yes i turned the accesories on and turned on the switch i was measuring. The only thing it could be is a relay or some kind of electrical something down the line that is causing this.
Hey… the second picture of that cluster is from my car! cool hehe
But yeah, my car is a 90-91 and it should light up like mine. Does your “CRUISE” word button light up as well? That’s supposed to light up too. Maybe there is some kind of relay but it wouldn’t make any sense to have one.
I have a feeling is has something to do with your “dimmer” control as that is the one that controls the currents and what not…
This makes absolutely no sense to me, becuase I always keep my dimmer switch at 100% and none of my lights on either side of the wheel other than the little activation lights telling me that infact the accesorys are on light up. Arg…im goin nuts
