Led dash lights

Hey guys need help. I changed out the speedo cluster lights and climate control lights. Been fine for 3 weeks last night all lights would not work. Any ideas??

 

check all your related fuses under hood and under dash

 

Wouldn't my other dash lights be off too if it was fuses it's only the led ones. I did not change the other warning lights

 

Could be the led bulbs then, there are certainly some cheap ones out there that may not perform well or last. You could try swapping the old bulbs back in and see. If they then work you know its the LEDS, if not, then a fuse or wire break.

 

I'll try that anyone have a better brand that last

 

Not necessarily. When looking over the wiring diagrams for my truck at least, It seems like the circuits for center of dash, gauges, roof and door lights are run off a mix of 3-4 different fused circuits. All lighting doesn't just magically die at once. Chances are there's a fuse blown or a connector that feeds those wasn't secured tightly.

 

Odd that all LED’s you changed went bad in 3 werks. Sure, there is crap out there.

When you say speedo, you referring to all the lights where odometer is. Also, did you change all climate control lights or some ?
Doesn’t seem plausible but if you adj your Instrument panel knob, does that help

 

Tried adjusting Instrument Panel nothing yes only changed the 4 bulbs on dash and the three for the climate.controls. I did yesterday changed out corner light maybe plugs are not put back in tightly.

 

Also noticed that now my brake lights light up when brakes applied but do not light up when headlamps are on.

 

Change back to the original bulbs and see if everything comes back to normal.

 

I will when I have time

 

Sounds like your parking light fuse is toast.

I blew mine adding depo corners and didn’t notice till it got dark. Oops.

In cab fuse box.

also if you did your cluster, next time sand off the green for empty lord style white speedo. High on my list of killer mods.

 

This did happen after I added depo corners. But my rear brake lights work just don't work when headlamps are on rear driving lights that is.

 

Brake is different fuse. Parking light is a different wire and dim to the bulb. Your symptoms sound like mine to a T. There are two standards for the 7443 bulbs. The depos are potentially compatible with newer tundra. Check the fuse and pull the corner bulbs and I’d bet it’ll be all good. If so, swap in the old bulb and sockets and you’re fine. Then replace with something compatible bulb-wise.

 

This is only relevant on 04 or 05 and up trucks. Older first gens just need bulb change

 

For reals? Badass!

 

Thanks for the info

 

My 04 had green condoms on the OEM bulbs

 

True, 00-04 use incandescent with green condoms where appropriate. There is no background to sand off in those years and was introduced in the 05 along with the change to LED.

Awesome. I have a bunch of white LED’s and extra green condoms from someone else’s suggestion. I could see maybe going a different color altogether if I manage to take out the dash cluster. Would be fun to experiment.

 

If you have spare green condoms, they fix ac knobs that stripped. Just put it on the shaft on the dash side and slide the knob over it. Feel like porn music should be playing

 

Pulling these clusters is pretty easy. Hardest part is popping down the trim around the key switch.

 

Oh, interesting. I've had that off already. Just scared of the needles in the cluster. Maybe not too bad? Just quick bulb swap and done? Excited!

 

Yeah no needle removal or anything. You do the bulbs from the back. Easily accessible once the cluster is out.

 

Stupid easy. Mine's apart right now so I'll try to take pictures if I remember later.

To get the cluster out, remove two screws on the black cowl behind your steering wheel, then put the shifter in neutral to wiggle the cowl out. Then the cluster itself has four screws, once you remove those you can pull the cluster out. If you're going to do the PRDNL2OD lights, you'll need to disconnect the electrical connector from the cluster completely (no big deal).

 

And then go all white? Or some combo of green condoms on some and white for the others? Man I’m getting excited. I though the green monster was going to be hard to slay so I have my scangauge and pioneer on green too. But maybe the clock is the only one truly stuck in mean green?

 

Up to you. I went all amber LEDs on my gauge cluster and HVAC, just because that's my personal preference and it's easy on the eyes. Some of my dome lights are LED white and I don't care for them. I still have my OEM condom bulbs if I ever want to use them.

I think the only green I have left is the clock and radio.

 

Hah! I bought some bulbs and covers from someone else’s recommendation but didn’t consider amber. I have a gallon ziplock baggie already. Sounds like I also need some amber ones.

but the white empty lord style looks so clean.

Did you have a photo somewhere of how yours looks?

Anyone try aqua / ice blue?

 

So I have white LEDs in the Corolla which I don't like, that's why I went straight to amber. The ambers come in handy for me on longer night drives. Turning the brightness down makes it even more comfortable IMO.

I don't have very many pictures of the cluster, but you kind of get the gist of it. It's nice getting rid of the green condoms.

 

DAVEEASA Forgot to thank.you it was the bulbs and tailight fuse blown. All dash and climate control lights back on.
