Speedo and Tach Illumination not working

Post by jrapoza »

Hi Folks,

New s80 to me, at night there is no illumination for the speedo and tach, they are otherwise functioning fine.
(I have the headlights out at the moment as I was going to change bulbs and noticed the wire insulation was falling off, waiting for new harnesses to arrive.
I don't know if the headlights being out is of any significance or not.)

also, the other lights do change brightness with the adjustment wheel... ie: radio, info screens, button lights...

Thank you in advance for any guidance you may offer.

Update...

It turns out to be that a driver chip in the DIM is bad, causing very low power to the light bar.
