Okay guys, new issue with Festiclese. My dash lights stopped working. I have the dimmer switch bypassed (Red/white to ground). My radio lights and tail lights work. With the current set-up it was fine but all of a sudden it stopped working. Room fuse and tail fuse are good. CEL, Defog, etc lights work. It's just the Tach light and Speedo light. Any ideas?

Also, I got voltage going to the dimmer switch wires. So I know it isn't broke from there.Current cars:

Have you checked the bulbs? There are 2 194s behind and 4 74s total. All of mine went after a good smack to the top of the dash once. Also check the cluster circuit board for any broken printed leads.

Have you messed with your radio wiring lately? And are you sure your heater lights are on? My dash lights and heater lights shorted out after I installed a new cd player. Still haven't found a solution, I just wired in a blue led light bar inside the cluster with the illumination wire for the radio lol..
I've tried 2 other dimmer switches since then and the light just don't work, i doubt my problem has anything to do with a faulty dimmer switch.2008 Kia Rio- new beater

It just started working today, which is more annoying then them being broken. Stuff needs to either stay broken or working.Current cars:
