Roberts280Z Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 While I have my dash out, I thought I would tend to the many non-working dash lamps. I'm replacing all the bulbs, but in fact I have found only one bad bulb (cigar lighter lamp). All other problems are caused by poor connection between the outer contact (i.e. not the base) and the bulb. Most of these can be fixed by cleaning or tweaking. But in one case, I got too agressive with the tweaking and broke off the contact. Using tin snips, I cut out some 0.008" phosphor bronze to match the original. I didn't attempt to create the original 'retention tang', but instead chose to rely on a snug fit by filing the sides to fit. I hope this helps somebody else with this problem.

JustinZ Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 How did you remove your dash? Are there any screws that were really hidden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
