Run a direct feed from somewhere else, if you can't find where you've got an open circuit?

Also if you replaced them with LED's they may even be the wrong way round, but saying that the chance of putting them all in back to front is slim :shock:

Eyup Mate~probably a stupid answer #-o ~i changed my speedo the other week~had some bulbs missing so replaced them~went out at night & only half the dash lights worked (the original ones) where i'd put new ones in it was in darkness~just tapped the perspex & they all lit up & theres been no probs since ~strange what happens when you disturb the bulbs~probably not the answer you wanted to hear but it worked for me :)

It's only easy when you know the answer!!!!!!!!!!
