Intermittent Dash Bulbs

External Since: Jan 04, 2006 Posts: 2

One to three of the small bulbs on the tachometer and speedometer are
sometimes on and sometimes off. If off, I can get them on by tapping
the front of the panel with my finger. Then they stay on for the rest
of that trip. My dealer "reprogrammed" something but that didn't help.
Is this problem likely with the bulbs or something else. If just bulbs,
I can replace them myself. If something else, I don't want to
disassemble the dash for nothing. Thanks.

Since you don't specify year/make/model all I can say is I don't think
reprogramming a module would have anything to do with your problem.
It sounds like a bad bulb pr loose connection.
