Hi guys not too sure where to post this but i need some info as to why my tripmeter or odometer is now blank. Started car this morning and there is nothing there.... all other dash lights and speedo lighting is working.
The car is a EL Falcon Futura and i have done no dash mods etc. Any suggestions as to why this has happened? Where do i get it fixed? Is this going to be expensive? |

my guess would be the bulb is blown. try get a torcj and shine it on it and see if you can see it then.
basically have to pull half the dash out to get the cluster out, some people will tell you ya may as well do the blue led mod while you're there lol. but the bulbs arent that expensive, the most part is labour.

yeah if the light bulb has blown u might as well do a LED conversion while its out. it will reduce the power consumption and puts less strain on ur alternator. goood luck and have fun phong =P~
