Hey guys my 01 Gt's dash lights have a short or something. the guy I bought
it from put white face gauges kit in it and sometimes the back lighting goes
out, now the needles still work and are still lit and you can see them but
the back lighting is gone them you can drive it for awhile or sometime kill
the car and restart it and they work just fine.
I'm suspecting a ground problem but want to check it out with you guys and
see if I'm missing something.
it's not the dimmer switch because the lights in the needles still dim and
brighten just fine the radio still brightens fine as well.

NEVER underestamate the dimmer switch
check for heat

the printed circuit is not the best
check at plugs

good point..though and i did check and no heat and the lights come on even
when the headlights are off, just when you start the car they come on then
even in daylight and sometimes they don't come on. they come on even if you
don't have the headlights on or not.
Kinda weird setup if you ask me looks cool, but strange.

ok, that was my next move was to look and see if i have a plug or a bad
contact.
