Dash Lighting

[squidman]

Does anyone know how I can change the lights on my speedometer? One side is burned out and the other isn't bright enough to light the whole dial.

But Ill offer a stab.
Undo the screws (all of them)
pull out the bezel containing gauges
snap light out from back and replace.


Or crawl under dash and go from there

Of course if you are working on a tank or fighter jet I will let Rich or some of the other ex military mechanics offer assistance

of course, he may be talking about some other vehicle he has...

either way, his hobby is competitive shooting, so be careful how much smack you talk...

1: Apply ground power or use the APU and identify failed lighting component.
2: Remove affected instrument
3: Go to the spark chaser, drop it on his desk, say "Fix this, it don't light up no more", and run like hell.
4: Have a cigarette.

Worked on the heli-co-peters I crewed..

Shouldn't be too hard. You'll have to take out the instrument cluster, and disconnect the speedo cable, but then the bulbs will be in the back of the cluster.
