[V8] no dash lights

[bblake1055 at aol.com]

On the Speedo sensor.  Make sure you have the right part number (check with AudiConnections for a used one).  The first one I got more than doubled my speed.  It was pretty cool going 160 MPH down Interstate 95!!!!!

It is all related to driving an old Audi.

But really - I have no idea about the dash lights. I would look at something
like the dimmer switch or perhaps a fuse - but I doubt the dash lights have
their own fuse.

On the speedo - define "erratic". Does it just drop to zero sometimes - and
beating on the dash with a 2X4 does not help?
Several - including me have had the speed sender go bad. It is located on the
front left axle, and is not all that hard to change out - provided you are a 6
inch tall bionic elf.

If you search the archives you may find my posts concerning the sender part
numbers. There are a few that work. The one I got (used from someone on the list
- who I can't recall right now) was a different part number from mine but worked
just fine.
