guage lights

[-=JoN=-]

anyone i here has had any problems w/ the guage lights. (aside from the usual flickering)

my gas gauge is dimmer than the rest of the gauges. and the E on it, is like almsot unlit.

probably take it in to the stealer..i got a few things i need to get done anyway(gawds i hate going there)

are you sure your dimmer switch thingy on the headlight stalk isnt turned down some by mistake? I do that all the time, and dont realize it till the evening when I go to turn on my lights and I can't read the odometer or the radio or anything like that.

naw, everything else is illuminated, but...
and yes, i have turned the dimmer on the stalked just in case i thought i was crazy...but nothing

My '02 has a section of the speedometer guage that isn't as well lit. It's most likely a blown bulb in that section. It's not worth the cost or aggrevation of tearing the dash apart though.

may the bulb burnt out...?

just fyi, once they start tearing your dash down to fix stuff like that....they usually don't get it back together right, at least based on my past experiences...still I prefer to have things properly illuminated....

yeah, and knowing my dealer, i'll probably have to bring it back like 3 times.

this past weekend,i noticed, the whole gas guage is poorly lit. i can barely see the needle...

That's ok it's usually on "e" and with gas prices what they are...ingnorance is bliss.

if this were my problem, I would really be torn, I like for everything to be properly illuminated, and with the low amount of gas i keep in the tank these days...I must be able to see the gauge...Man I don't know what I would do.... ](*,)

so it's w/ the dealer now..and it's gonna take a few days....(dammit) ](*,)
they say it mig be electrical..im like...it's just the gas guage thats poorly lit..

oh just THE gas guage?...

um yeah..thats what I said didnt I....

at least i didnt get my old service advisor....he looks so condecsending...

ARGH NO JEEP FOR TILL WED!!! ](*,) ](*,)

 

[yoda13]

warranty?

 

[-=JoN=-]

warranty?

nope..just got a call from them, the bulb was out....and it wasnt under warranty (WTF was the extended warranty good for?)

good thing is they only charged me 1 hour labour
bad thing is it's 91/hour
they have a 3 hour minimum labour charge....

correction 96.50 (5.50 for the bulb itself)

and of course, w/o fail, my brush guards have grease prints all over it, some spots in the windshield interior, mirror settings all over the place...

AND

the vent to the left of the steering wheel,loose, and the fins pointing all over...
