I was driving my Turbo2 on Saturday night. On the way home I stopped in a gas station went inside left the car running with lights on, "All my lights in the stock gauge cluster were working fine" as well as my boost,EGT,H2O Temp,Oil Pressure gauges. When I came back out the lights in the stock gauge cluster were turned off, as well as all my gauges, and the parking lights, as well as the rear tail lights were off. "And yes the dimmer is turned on, not off". I also checked all the fuses 1 by 1 in the fuse panel located on the drivers side by the clutch pedal. I also checked the main fuses located in the engine bay, (Little Black Box) all of them are good. I had my mechanic check it out last night, and he did basically everything I did, check all fuses, and wires. He told me its probably the switch itself that controls the dimmer, and turns on, and off the gauge cluster, I had all my gauges turn on with the light switch, so when I turn my lights on, all my gauges turn on. This car is all original, there are no electrical problems with this car whatsoever,and all my gauges were profesionaly installed, so there are no *edited for content* rig wiring jobs done here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

 

The gauges don't work, or just their lights don't work?

If just the gauge lights (as well as the other parking lights) don't work, then chances are the Headlight switch and its harness has burnt up. It's common if the bulb contacts have not been maintained, high humidity or snow bound climates, or extra lights or gauges have been added incorrectly.
