My 142 has never had working Instrument panel lights. The warning lights work, (oil, amp,brights, turn, but my brake warning light doesn't) but the dash won't light up so I have to use my aftermarket tach to know how fast I'm going. I'm thinking of taking out the inst. panel and checking it out. I read the earlier posts on this and i can only find one of the plastic bolt/nut thingys and then the panel gets loose. Where can I get replacement bulbs for all of the lighting, (the push in bulbs, and the little bulbs for the three heater controls)... So what are the steps I need to take to get it out, and could the dimmer knob thingy on the lower lefthand corner be the problem? Should I worry too much about disconnecting the speedo cable? What do I need to do after I unscrew it? Experience and help wanted...
Thanks,
Kyle - KLR142
