Instrument console bulbs out? (All at once??)

[Gary in BR]

1st I have heard of this one.

Have you checked renntech.org

Hey, Gary.... how have u been, bro? I have been swamped at work and just getting back home and back to 986forum. I looked around but couldn't imagine that all 3 bulbs would go out at the same time, make more sense to be something else like a fuse or controller/sensor switch or something. I guess I could check all of the fuses....not just the instrument display, but I don't know what else to try.

Thanks, man.

Same thing just happened to me. Did you find the problem/solution? I've checked every fuse in the car and they're all fine.

Remove and replace the related fuse.
Sometimes they are bad even when they look good.
Also, corrosion on the contacts is often hard to see.
Someone on this site had a similar problem and it was a fuse that looked good but was bad.

On most cars that same electrical circuit controls the "parking lights" which includes the front and side marker lights and the tail lights. Are you sure it is only the dash lights that are out?

Good ideas, guys, I'll check tonight.

And for some reason, the lamps may be turned down all the way accidentally. Check that too!
