Hi

I have an 1987 rx7 turbo that i just got running good and now my gauge cluster lights will not come on also my stero will not come on for some reason I have checked all the fuses next to the clutch and the main fuse block in the engine compartment and there all good. Dose anyone know what other fuse it may be or how to fix it thanks

Isnt it kind of annoying how no one will give any advice on gauge problems? Ive got an 83 thats doin the same thing, I posted and 2 days later no replies, oh well guess they dont have time for people like us

hey, I had this problem when I bought my 87, but I totally forget how I fixed it, i think I replaced the whole headlight switch. the problem is definatly in the switch!

wickyc

Didnt think of that... Its always the little things

If i figure somthin out I will post. kudos to Compubob

I've taken the whole cluster out and tested each and every connection in it. Its getin power, but still cant figure out how every other light in and out works but no gauge lights. So dont do what i did, and waste a couple of hours tinkering with the dash.

I had the same problem with my 87 turbo. I just changed the light switch since the dimmer is all together and it worked.

Light switch on the steering console or the dimmer on the dash?

I have the same problem too on my '84! I've spent probably 2.5 hours shuffling through wiring diagrams and testing connections with test lights and nothing has helped. I really hope someone figures out what to do.

Come on! Someone has to help. I can't pass inspection without these darn lights.

On the 87 model, it's the lightswitch on the steering console which the dimmer is inside the lightswitch like i've mention.
