We just finished the car and are ready for the road. We have a few issues to tie up and one of them is the dash lights don't work. I'm pretty sure it's a ground wire. But the harness was pretty chopped up and spliced. We fixed everything that was twisted and taped with correct slpices and connectors. I'm just not sure which ground is for tyhe dash lights I have the ones for the cig lighter and headlight switch correct but not sure how many more there are. I see on other posts that there is one on the parking brake handle. Is there another one besides that? The assembly book has a skematic but that's hard to read after a while.
Any help is always appreciated

I think if you had it wired correctly and had at least one ground on it, they would at least light up. Might want to re-check the wiring, maybe use a voltmeter on it to see if you're getting anything on the pins for the lights.

That said, I added 3 grounds to the metal back of my gauge pod, and it helped the brightness significantly (but they already went on, just not as bright as they could have been). I added one to each seperate section.

Fuse? Headlight switch? I know they are obvious but they were not mentioned.

Third headlight switch and fuse is good.
