Joey Mack Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Hi Mackey, just curious, are you looking for that octopus looking thing with the fiber optic wires?

mackey58 Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 I think that's there yet but I can't figure out why it's so bright on the floor,maybe cause it's an led? Maybe I got to open up the dash better Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70912-rd-dash-lights/#findComment-519377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 forgive the silly question, but are there any loose bulbs that are just flopping around back there? yes I would expect LED to be brighter. the normal bulb is a #194. I assume you know that.. I doubt i'm helping, just curious I guess...

mowerman Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 That’s not right for sure just like the other fellow said sounds like something is not pushed in all the way… that must be very annoying if nothing else good luck… Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70912-rd-dash-lights/#findComment-519543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 the bulb sockets in RD's seem to fall out a lot after 10 years or so.. for a quick repair I have put a spot of RTV on the socket and pushed them back in to the little indicator light lense thingy's... and on the back of the speedo or tach.. RTV can be removed for bulb replacement.. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70912-rd-dash-lights/#findComment-519545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey58 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Thanks for the help I will check it when I go back to work Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70912-rd-dash-lights/#findComment-519596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
