no instrument backlights

[humptynumpty]

hey I jumped in motor tho morning and noticed rev, temp, fuel and speed gauge not lit up at all but warning lights worked, I also tryed the dimmer but no difference so is there a fuse or anything?

[the guardian]

not sure about this mark it might be a blub or a fuse on most of my other cars they had fuse's for the panel so i am to assume the jaguar has the same but what number fuse  it is your have to go in to your handbook try f13 - f14 i think 

hope this helps

Hi Mark,

 

Try the  fusebox in the boot - fuses   ----- F20, F27, and F33.

 

Other than that, a bad connection/earth could be the fault.

checked all fuses and none blown also notice water running down a pillar n dripping into footwell on passengers side (curtain and a pillar airbags damp)

[humptynumpty]

was any binnacle non illuminated

Mine all light up.

 

Is there a possibility that the dimmer switch has a bad connection?

[humptynumpty]

the dimmer works the trip screen but nothing else lights not even centre consol except clock/radio and heat setting screen

[humptynumpty]

if somehow the binnacle light circuit was damaged would it stop centre consol lighting and would replacement binnacle make a difference
