PataynaMB3 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 If the bulbs look like that they might have just blown then or are covered in dirt!This is what im on about, no backlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Paul Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 That switch is only fitted to the VTI models, there's a speed sensor located on the back of the gearbox. It's very hard to see but it clips directly down onto the gearbox,it's prety much located straight down under your fuel filter. The sensor it plugs into is bolted in with one single 10mm bolt.The connector may have came off,especially if you've had a clutch done or someone's had one done and it's not been put back on properly. Try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 This is what im on about, no backlightAh yeah I see what you mean, I'm not sure where the bulb(s) are for that but I imagine they'd be in or near the cluster... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 if i remember, there's two different size bulbs for the instruments cluster... wonder if the other ones have gone as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check for bent pins etc if it's only since u played with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If you have the service manual downloaded from here, have a look at page 23-C-5, shows two gauge bulbs, one above the speedo and one above the rev counter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
