Gauge illumination lights not working on 1985 pontiac firebird.
All fuses are good. Headlight switch is good. Keep in mind I have had the interior carpet and center console pulled. Done some wiring under the dash for external gauges and replaced the engine so a wire could have been pulled somewhere. The warning lights in the gauge work but not the perimeter of the gauge lights work that illuminate the gauges themselves. Any wiring related to those gauge light please don't hesitate to recommend me to look at even if you think it might not be it. Thanks guys.

Re: Gauge illumination lights not working.
Anything else not working? Tell us more about the specifics of the car, year, camaro or ‘bird and anything else that may not be factory. No matter which flavor you have see if there are other lights that may be out as well that could clue us in to the problem. If you still have heater controls they are also on that circuit. If the backlighting is out also there and your Inst Lps fuse (should be 5A) is not blown(verify by checking for continuity not just by sight) you could be looking at a switch. If no 12v at the fuse, a fusible link is suspect, if heat control lights work maybe a bad or dirty connect in the cluster connector.
