Dashboard bulbs......revisited

[johnb5177]

Hi folks,

Back to what seems a perennial problem....failing dashboard bulbs....specifically the 3 that illuminate the temp/odometer/time section.

I have ordered a set from Autobulbsdirect, as specified in the fixed thread on these bulbs.

I understand that LEDs have polarity, and I can check that with a m/meter on continuity setting (I have tested this on another LED and successfully lit it).

My question is, I suppose, does anyone know the polarity of the PCB.....or just put them in and find out empirically.....

Thanks folks.

I have to do this on the Mrs motor sometime, my approach would be to test the PCB bulb points for polarity to check it matches the bulbs, I am guessing there is enough slack on the cabling to get to it while still connected, Rick

Rick,
Thank you for your reply.
That is what I thought may be the case.....
I will get my meter on it and try to get a reading....
