Dials dont light up on my Cup

[OLLZIE]

I noticed driving in the evening in my cup that my dials are not lit up. The headlights are on and everything functions well and lights up on the dash board. The petrol symbol on my dashboard lights up and stays on but there is plenty of petrol in the tank. can anyone help.

if the dails are not lit it is either a fuse thats blown or the bulbs have gone behind the dials

 

[OLLZIE]

where can i get a new fuse if thats the case?

 

[Day]

Halfords or any motor factor will have them.

 

[OLLZIE]

its not the fuse

are you sure? check your rear number plate light.... i say this as this happened to mine, (no dash lights/ lights on warning buzzer) and the number plate light had a dead short in it

 

[my_cougar49]

Sounds really silly but you havent turned the light dimmer all the way down to off have you?

 

[OLLZIE]

no i have checked all of that. The rear numberplate light is still on. This is realy odd. The petrol light is now in working order.

unlikely to be failed leds as they will outlast the car ten fold

but could be a faulty circuit board

 

[OLLZIE]

It could be that. I was driving along with them on once and didnt hear them blow like how a light bulb does, They just went off. What do you guys think i should do before going to renault and throwing my money? It could be just something simple like a loose connection. Is there anyone that could help me with this and i could pay them to sort this out.

 

[OLLZIE]

anyone know whats wrong?

 

[16v_jon]

if the rear number plate is lit then it wont be a fuse.
could either be a. faulty speedo or b. UCH both expemsive items new

 

[OLLZIE]

the speedo works but dont light up

 

[OLLZIE]

would renault charge me for just looking at the problem and identifying it?

 

[Da]

sounds like a knackered circuit board mate, as Dink says the LED's are unlikely to fail, especially all of them. You could check the connections by removing the top dash.

 

[OLLZIE]

how do you do that? i dont know where to even start.
