speedo and tach don't light up
« on: June 08, 2005, 07:34:47 PM »
Hi Guys & Gals,

Is this as simple as taking them apart and changing a bulb? Everything else electrical-wise seems to work.
Does anyone have any pointers?
Thanks again.

check your connections from the gauges into the headlamp bucket.

You could also clean the contacts while you have it apart. Saves you trounble down the road.

These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.
