#1: My dash lights keep cutting out when braking! Author: Gaz360, Location: LouthPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 8:15 am ---- Hi, Can anyone help me with this one please.
Evry time i even lightly put my foot on the brake pedal, my dash lights go out. The lights that go out r my milage light, dash with date an that, and (sometimes) my climate cntrl display.
This doesnt happen when my lights are on. might be worth noting that my speedo dial doesnt work at all. all the other dials are fine all the time.
