Default Interior Gauge
Hello everyone,
I am in need of help. I am trying to get my gauge light to work because it does not work (no dimmer up or down, just darkness). I tried replacing the gauge and still nothing. Maybe the rheostat? Does anyone have any input on this subject or any YouTube videos on how to fix it? Thank you.

when you changed the gauge you needed to pull the light socket out.

Sounds like the bulb in the socket is bad.

Does the metal gauge housing have the necessary Ground Wire attached?
