Two speedo bulbs out
« on: 17 July 2015, 22:13 »
So, I have 2 bulbs out and 0-40 mph is in darkness on my speedo.

I know they are smd's but not sure if its them or a relay that failed?

Anybody done a successful fix before.?

they're easy enough to solder mate. Some of the LEDs run on the same circuit so if one has gone it will take out another...

Try reflowing the solder on the dead LEDs to see if it's a dry joint that's causing the problem first
