749 Speedo / Dash Display Backlight Not Working?

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by Dubs, Aug 11, 2015.

  1. Picked up an 03, 749s today...kind of a project, but nothing serious, it just needs tidying.

    Out tonight and noticed the display was not lighting up. The tacho rev counter is fine,but underneath, the display with speed, time etc is qiote dull - no backlight basically.

    Any ideas ?

    tks.
     
  2. Bulbs gone. What you need to do is remove it and then you and a couple of mates cup your hands around it. VoilĂ  many hands make light work!

  3. Tks...

    Ive wipped the clocks / dash off but the unit looks sealed...

    Any ideas?
     
  4. It's an electroluminescent panel built into the dash. The only answer is a new dash.

    was reading somewhere it could also be a fuse thats located on the side of the headlight unit just below the screen.

    If i have any joy i will let you know.
