The factory boost gauge on my rex doesn't light up anymore. I opened it up and changed the bulb (which was burned) but it still doesn't light up when i turn my headlights on. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get it on? The gauge itself works fine, it's just that it doesn't light up.
Check the fuses and double check the connection between the bulb and the wiring. If memory served me, the soldering looked pretty weak there.
If it's not the fuse or wiring at the bulb, check the wires to their source. The stock boost guage gets it's power from the radio. You can follow the wires down the steering column and back towards the radio...this will require you to remove the plastic column cover and pull the radio.
yo dude.. u have a short wire that goes up ur butt cheek!!! rofl sorry j/k btw u heard my tranny got fked up? call me and ask
hey, what happened to ur tranny wrxcrazy? I'll give you a call tomorrow. I've allready checked the bulb and the fuses, had to replace the bulb but it still doesn't light up. I got a voltmeter and will check the ohm tommorow, but i have to take my audio headunit out to do this. Does anybody have any idea how to take the central dash cover off? Do i just pry it off with a screwdriver?
