hello all. new here, but i thought i'd share my experience as well. turns out my instrument panel (dash lights) have been off for well over a year now. with little in the way of car budget and spare time, i wasn't able to dig deeper into the problem until recently. at first, i thought it might have been a fuse or bulb as the TC did, but upon inspection of the fuse i found no problems. i decided to open up the dash only to find that pin #4 on the connectors on both the light control switch/rheostat and the harness had burned and partially melted the plastic. this leads me to believe that there may be a short in the wiring somewhere? while i have yet to test the wiring, i figured i would simply be able to replace both the male and female connectors rather than purchase a new light control switch/rheostat and harness. i have had trouble determining the part number of the connectors without an number printed on the connectors, although i did find a listing of female and male connectors (just having a hard time putting a number to the part). if anyone else had this problem, any answers would be greatly appreciated. hopefully it might be beneficial to the TCs plight as well. thanks in advance!
