Re: [DMCForum] Dash problem

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

I had an almost similar occurrence with my MR2.  When I tried to turn on
the lights, various dash lights lit up and the lights did not.  Searching
the electrical diagrams for a while, I found that the systems lighting up
and the system not working were connected to the same ground.  A solder
joint in a connector was loose (for the ground wire), so the ground
became +12volts when i put the lights on.  This drove current backwards
through some lights making them light.  

Time to tear apart your dash.
