Only one Dash / Instrument Panel light not working
I have only one light bulb in the dash cluster that will not light up. The headlight switch was replaced due to corrosion and that cleared up the intermittent lighting issue, but not this problem.
The bulb is in the top right corner and lights up the Oil Pressure and Temp reading gauges. (Yes this one has the full gauge package). All of my other lights work properly with the exception of the one bulb. The housing for that bulb was cracked to I replaced it with a spare I had laying around and even put in a new bulb with no change.
Is it possible there is a crack in the printed circuit board before it reaches that light? I thought the path of electrical flow started at this bulb and worked its way around the board, but maybe I am mistaken on that and I need to trace around the board and see if their is a break in the line before it reaches that bulb? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
