Troubleshooting interior lights
So I'm tackling the interior/instrument lights not coming on this weekend. I removed the entire dash and have done some troubleshooting. Here's what I've done so far:
- Hooked up temporary 12v+ and temporary ground with alligator clips - varios test lights come on one at a time while testing
- Removed lights from console and hooked up temporary ground with alligator clips - lights do not come on when headlights turned on
- Removed lights from console, hooked up temporary ground with alligator clips and manually fed 12v+ into disconnected headlight switch harness. Lights do not come on
- Manually fed 12v+ on to each end of the fuses in the fuse block to rule out a fuse block issue, lights do not come on
So... I can only surmise that there is some kind of disconnect in between the headlight switch and the bulbs that is opening the circuit. Anyone got any tips for me?
