Description of problem: Rev counter LIGHT not working. Rev counter needle still works as normal

Hi guys.

As above, our rev counter is playing up a little bit.

We currently have the 3 dial dash and the light behind the rev counter isn't working, but the rev needle does work as normal when engine is revved.

I'm guessing it's likely to be a bulb or is it more possible it's just a loose wire?
(before I go butchering and ripping the dash apart by accident)

Also any help on how to remove dials safely would be great

Cheers in advance for any help given.
Davey

:D

Bulb, as they are all connected via the printed panel on the back of the dials and supplied by the same circuit and wire if all the other lights work then its the bulb thats gone or worked itself loose.

Brill thanks Joshua

Yep, forgot to mention that other two dials work and light up as they should.


Newbie Question No.2..... Anybody know the bulb model number?

Is it a 501 or a w5w bulb or something like that? Just means I can buy one tonight then, remove and fit it all at once if neccessary
