My tach and speedo lights have gone out - centre console is still lighting up.  I do not have  wiring diagram - can anyone help me out with advice or a copy of the diagram.

Can you tell us what year you are working with. Also has anything just been added like a radio or new electrical or any work just completed?

Joanne, a '79 wiring diagram is on it's way to you, via e-mail.
Could be a loose wire/connector, or the printed circuit board.

I had a similar problem in my '78. In my case it was the printed circuit.

If you pull either cluster out, change all the light bulbs while you're already there. They're probably the originals anyway and you don't want to pull the clusters more than you need to.
