From: tomm on 14 Jul 2010 07:14 My dashboard on my astra doesnt light up any more when I turn my headlights on ( speedo , rev counter etc doesnt illuminate) . Does anyone know if this would be a faulty fuse? The other things like the headlight switch below the dash and my window buttons on my door still illuminate Its an 03 astra hatchback

I saw the dimmer when I first bought the car but forgot about it as I have never touched it. Read your post and remembered it was in for its MOT a few days ago so they must have turned it down while fiddling with the lights! So one less worry ... thanks again ! |
