Are all the fuses ok? As in, physically checked with a multimeter?
Do you have a rheostat to adjust the dash brightness? When someone removed the blank from this position in my Rallye, it opened the circuit and thus I had no dash illumination.

yeah, checked all the fuses, and theyre all good, dont think ive got a rheostat. could a cause of it be the wire going to headlights be earthing on something? only reason i ask is because when i was fitting me boost guage i may have cut the wire casing for the headlight wire where i was jamming a screwdriver through to make some room for the hose? this is the only thing i think it could be.

I had no dash lights the other day, don't have a rheostat, the plug had came of the back of the blank, breaking the circuit, just need the 2 outside connectors on the plug wired together to complete the circuit again, all working again now.
