Dr. Mayf- those bulbs you powered and then grounded but they still didn't light up...... Have you used your VOM to make sure those bulbs are still good? After all they aren't close to new. Joe Valence has a new set up I plan on buy when I install my new dash which has much brighter bulbs, including brake and tail light. I know you are back to the size 10 hands if U exchanged the bulbs but I think it is still a good investment,as always, TonytheTiger Tony Lang (TtT)

Tom Hall sells a very nice solid state voltage stabilizer. I would recommend his. I have one in my car. Also, the lights DO NOT run through the stabilizer

But the voltage stabilizer may indeed be farkled. When powered on, the fuel gage reads full and when off, slowly returns to 0 . The temp gage does not do anything. As to dash lights, I have even tried putting voltage on the red with white stripe wire and grounding a bulbs socket to see if that light  works. Nothing.     I will see if I can get the stabilizer out and check its functionality. I suspect that I might be able to do that without removing it though? Like v=using a voltmeter on the GB wire from the =stabilizer to ground.  Yeah, I’ll give that a try.    Sure will be great to get dash lights and the temp and fuel gages working! Last items on my list. Part of my [problem stems from a long latency between when it was apart and now. I do remember that when I replaced the old dash that when I removed a gauge I put the wires back on in the same place so that when I put the new wood in everything, I thought, went back in the same location and terminal.   Many thanks for the suggestions, new avenues to test!  mayf   From: CoolVT at aol.com [mailto:CoolVT at aol.com]

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Dash Pieces  Mayf,Pretty sure the power to the gauges and dash lights come from the voltage stabilizer.  It's a little squarish, metal device about 2"x2" and is screwed to the support column that goes from the dash to the firewall (just to the right of the steering column). If you pull the wires off  be sure to label where each goes because the color coding of the wires will probably be faded. Not sure of a source for the stabilizer if that's the problem.Mark L In a message dated 9/18/2016 4:15:19 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, tigers at autox.team.net writes:
<image001.jpg>Ok, I am replacing and adding a couple of dash switches to my car.  The pieces I need are the chrome screw on switch bezel for use on the wood dash.  Is there a source for such?  I have the switches but sadly they do not come with them.    And I am having the dickens of a time with the instruments: mostly with the dash lights. I know grounds are the typical source or cause of the problems and I have been attacking that as best I can.  Also there does not seem to be power to that circuit, even when I turn the lights on and the panel switch as well.  I replaced the fuse block and that did help. More voltage. Was pretty corroded. New one has a spiffy cover and I applied dielectric grease as well.  The wipers work, the horn honks the heater motor runs, have oil pressure, but no dash light or fuel level or temp. Also purchased a brake light switch as well. Turn signals work as does the green indicator light on the dash. Head lights ( high and low beams), turn signals and stop light all work. Part of the issue is size 100 hands (big) in a size 3 under dash.  So I am going to keep after it.  Was there an wiring change in the MK1 production run? The wiring on my gas and temp gages does not look like the schematic.  If I look at the back side of the fuel gage and temp gage what wire goes where?  Some remote help needed here… at least some advice or comment.  mayf _________________________
