    what have you checked?
    - Fuse?
    - light switch/plug?

    Use a volt/multimeter and check for power.

    Hi,

    Aren't the plugs wired in-series? I vaguely remember that being the case....

    So, re-seat the plugs at the back of the gauges.... and IIRC the speedo is first and if that is not connecting properly then the rest of the lights will be out.

    Glad it all sorted out for you .... always check fuse and connections when it comes to electrics.

    That rep reminded me of when I just joined the forum few years back .... anyway those were the past now

    I think you do remember that river hehe ....
