Posted April 29, 2024Apr 29 comment_664620 The low and hi headlights do work on my 72 240z however the blue light in my speedo is not working. Should i attempt to remove the speedo to change such blue led or should i check anything before? I already pulled both turn signal and combo switches cleaned all there connectors and still no blue light.

April 29, 2024Apr 29 comment_664627 Did you happen to follow my suggestion on checking the harness with a meter along with the schematic?

April 29, 2024Apr 29 Author comment_664643 The schematic is very small and hard to read. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68937-high-beam-indicator-light-is-not-turning-on-in-the-speedo-of-my-72-240z/#findComment-664643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 29, 2024Apr 29 comment_664647 There are posts available here on the forum that are larger. Hopefully someone will chime in and point you in that direction. There is no easy fix if you can’t bug it out with a meter.

April 30, 2024Apr 30 comment_664679 Remove the tach pull it out and reach through the whole. A lot of work without testing the harness wiring IMO.

April 30, 2024Apr 30 comment_664698 Who told you it's a LED? If it was it would probably work.. as LED's (I'm talking about the good old led's that where around 40-50 years ago..) have a long lifespan. Normally there are candescent little lightbulbs in there. Someone with small hands and Patience can change them. maybe lying up side down in the car but it's in the blind doable.

I got a bulb in my car and after 53 years it still works.. put the standard bulb inthere it will work for many many years.. I;m not against led's but just against cheap junk led's.. 😉 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68937-high-beam-indicator-light-is-not-turning-on-in-the-speedo-of-my-72-240z/#findComment-664750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
