High Beam dash light issue....

Hello, new to the site but not third gens, I initially thought my highbeam dash light (blue) was burnt out but now seems to work periodically, not sure what the issue is, ground, loose wire? I've tried the search engine on here but can't seem to find anything, any help greatly appreaciated!

Could be a loose bulb, a bulb with a broken filament that occasionally makes contact, an intermittent in the printed circuit board trace to the socket.

You failed to mention the year of the car therefore we will just give you a general idea where the wire for that is.

In one of the dash connectors you will find a
light green wire.

That wire comes from the dimmer stalk and goes to hi-beam indicator.

So before you take apart the dash you can make sure that connector is fully seated.


Happy Racing!
