Realized my instrument lights were not working, checked all fuses, bulbs, wire connections....all looks great. Then I realized that when I installed the new 12v. NEG. ground wire harness I ran the power to the light sockets correct, but I never gave them a ground!
The first clue was when I turned on the lights and touched the wrong part of the socket base to ground....the dimmer coil on the headlight switch looked like a small cigarette lighter for a moment!
I,ll be looking for some new safer panel light sockects soon, but all is now working like it should.
Hope you all had a good weekend.
later, ED

 

It's always good to share what you learn the hard way so hopefully we can learn with you! If you ain't learning you might as well cash it in!
