hey all, this is my first post here so...  Im New here

anyway Ive recently been having some trouble with my dashboard of my t2 and i think its a problem with the wiring. when me and my dad took off the dials for a clean etc. and put them back in i think i may have rewired them incorrectly... so i was wondering if anyone has a picture or a coloured iring diagram so that i can check it out, all the diagrams i can seem to find are black and white and have no wire detailing.

cheers guys!  eusa_dance

Double check your ground. I had the same problem and it turned out to be a bad ground.

Do those bulb holders TWIST off or do you PINCH them to remove?  You are inspiring me to do my long put off dash work too.
