ShellShocker Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 hey guys, i have a 2002 pathy and every since i bought it last year my intrument panel will not light up (sometimes) sometimes its the gas and speedo or engine temp and tach or both but when your driving 1 or both with suddenly come on doesnt happen every time but here is what i know could possible be it 1. could be a plastic instrument panel board that may have cracked and as it warms up it exspands and the lines contact and Pow illumination occurs 2. its a pos and needs a new cluster or 3. and short (or 2) have occured in a connection somewhere but i find this hard to believe considering the vehicle doesnt have to be moving for them to randomly illuminate if i get pics here soon which i got new wheels been meaning to take pics ill get one of the panel not working and ill post here soon thank you for your comments may be a few before im back on here like friday or so.

Towncivilian Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Pull the cluster and make sure the bulbs are undamaged.

MrT Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 sounds like a loose connector/wiring issue to me. You could always just duct tape a flash light to the steering column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
