hi

wen i put my lights on in the dark then the lights of my instrumentals doesn't work so I can't see how much speed I drive or my turbo pressure non of the lights work
only the radio and the heating and foglicht buttons have light also the clock have light
the others don't have light even the ashtry doesn't have light

what can be the problem?????
ow btw it a europeen car --> left hand drive

cheers tom,

 

do you have side lights, if you dont it will be the light switch /wiper switch


Dave

 

check that the dimmer switch hasn't come disconnected. failing that if your exterior lights work then could be a blown fuse somewhere

 

outside the car everything works
only my instrumentals licht doesn't work
the indicotors on the instrumentals work also, like fuel, battery, biglight, handbrake,...

 

dimmer switch, what switch do you exactly mean?
I will check the fusebox today!

greetz tom,

 

dimmer switch is in the lower panel across from fuse box area

 

Hi Mate, i have had the same problem with my cossie, and know how this silly problem can really get on your nerves.
I have done the following things to sort my problem out.
1. The indicator stalk provides power to the electricial system, this can fail, causing lighting faults, so i replaced this and some problems sort themselfs out.
2. The lighting system on the turbo pod disconnect the supply to this and test the system with a lamp, if your getting power to it then it can be a bad earth.
3. The cossie dash runs on elctro luminscene, not bulbs like my local ford dealer told me. Over the years the dash can break down causing the luminscene to fail, if this happens then it can be hard to track down new clocks as ford discontinued them.
There is a company in Itlay that make replacement luminscene dial for the cossie with uprated boost and increased mph, it also contains the luminscene.
The link is www.birba.com
4. Try the dimmer switch under the coloum, wire it directly in and if the clocks work then this is the problem. If they do your need a new inverter.

Im no mechanic and only doing things that i have been told to try, hope this helps you.

Regards

Gareth

 

Has anyone had these above dial kits fitted? if so are they any good? wouldn't mind a new set to get rid of the slight blotches, would it be best to put a new invertor in while there out and in bits? Cheers Mark

 

If its not the dimmer wire come off then it's almost certainly the inverter in the back of the clocks. When this goes you loose all the gauge lighting but everything still works.

Unfortunately the inverter board is no longer available but you can make a replacement.

 

thanx for the tips
I'm gone check it...

Anyone no how to make a replacement of the inverter ??

 

They did sell the inverters about 20 quid i thought , im after one of those aswell my illumination just broke down

 

I have this problems
I fit birba's dial illumination but the problems continued

I fit a new inverter from birba, but it don' work it's not the same of standart parts...

So, I search a new inverter

 

Bought a used instrument panel, and its work, but its other cars around her whith same problem.

 

anyone have a solution to change this fu...ing inverter

An escos without dial illumination is not an escos .............
