Hey Champ

Is the cluster light setting rolled down to dim? try rolling it up to high?

Next would be to check fuses and then globes.

If you've had a few globes blow at once you might want to work out why and maybe start looking through loom and maybe for water leaks.

Remember theses are just ideas, Pm me if you have questions

unlikely every bulb in the cluster has failed but possible, another possible cause could be the dimmer switch unplugged or faulty.

the dimmer switch also controls the other interior lamps in the AC Controls and ashtray lighting, so if they all do not work then look at the dimmer circuit.

Hey guys, do ek9 have dimmer switches? Ive checked fuses and its defiently not that, im suspecting a short.

when i click from (none - parker lights ) = nothing works ( still no dash lights)
(in between none to parker lights)= dash lights show, parker lights show
( parker lights - headlights = headlights show ( still no dash lights)

pretty hard to explain guys, please help me .

hmm, by switch what do you mean as in indicator switch (where you flick your lights and stuff)

are they the same on all models? $$ are they

Faulty dimmer switch I think he means mate.

The switch you roll to adjust the brightness of your dash.

Shouldn't cost too much at all.

ECU-MAN should be able to help you but you could pull it out and test it with a voltmeter to see if it is stuffed or borrow one to test

Pm him might be better

I actually ment the indicator stalk assuming I understood the problem correctly.. flick switch from off to parkers and nothing happens however if you put the switch between off and parkers it, parkers and dash illuminate. Then that would be the indicator stalk. I do not see why the EK9 and any other EK would have a different indicator stalk.
