Speedo and rev meter dash lights out - fuse and bulbs replaced

Asked by Guru2GFBJ Mar 09, 2020 at 03:52 AM about the 2003 Subaru Outback Base Wagon

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi, my dash lights were all out, so I changed the fuse. Everything but the
speedo and rev meter back lights came back, so I replaced those bulbs.
They’re still not working. What’s the next thing to try? Yes, I have turned the
dimmer switch, no luck.

You were careful with the plastic ribbon wires being plugged in cleanly? These are small bulbs, but I remember never having any issues replacing them when burned out. Sorry. Good luck. Ern
