Instruments not illuminating - MCH - 17-01-2016
Right my dash lights went off the other day (clocks did go altogether at one point) flickered and came back on but now don't work at all...
The following still illuminate;
indicator signals, headlight & full beam, stop light, fuel low warning light etc
But the speedo and rev counter don't illuminate...
Checked fuse 19 also checked the dash dimmer (tried a known working one) also tried another set of clocks...
One thing I've noticed is the mileage illumination comes and goes...
It's a 1997 ph2 gti6
Any help would be appreciated
Probably should clarify, other than not illuminating they currently work as they should

Check to see if the bulbs are at fault?

Turned out to be the connector...
There's a locking part that pulls the connector tight into the clocks but its broken, so its not holding it tight enough...
Now its just finding a way to fix it without having to cut the connector off and solder a new one on...

Will one from another set of clocks not just clip on

its the connector block that's part of the dash loom... there's the yellow and blue plugs that clip in... its the blue one

I know. What I'm trying to say is can't you nick a swivel hinge thing off another clip to save cutting the plug off

no the stud the swivel bit fits onto is the broken part

Buy some Sugru and use that to "stick" the plug back on!
