Could be a problem with the instrument voltage stabilizer
Apr 6, 2011 at 5:57 AM
I know this is an old post, but in case someone else is reading this...
The voltage stabilizer is only used to provide a stable voltage to
the Fuel & Temp gauge.
The dash lights get power from the dimmer switch.
Either the dimmer switch is faulty or the 2 dash lights are burnt
out.
Your heater panel also receives power from the dimmer switch, if
the heater panel lights-up & dims when the dimmer switch is moved, then
the dimmer switch is OK, but your dash lights are burnt out.
