While driving home yesterday evening late, the backlighting on the meter assembly (gauge) flickered some. Tonight coming home from work the backlighting is not working at all. I have checked all the fuses in the fuse block under the seat. They are all fine. I pulled off the windscreen and upper cowl to gain access to the 20p connector at the back of the meter and checked for 12V on the br/bl and w/g wire with the key on. I am getting 12v to the meter. Does anyone have any ideas for what I could check next? I have the 5yr extended warranty but, thats gonna mean missed seat time while the weather is so nice. Can anyone shed some light as to what I need to look at next? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Daniel

are the bulbs ok ?

I doubt that there are bulbs on that display...more likely LEDs  on one circuit.

I also doubt that you will avoid getting a claim from the dealers if you want a solution. The earlier you go the better....the weather can only get better for now!

check if the LED's are working out side - test using an external battery - ensure polarity is correct ...

I called the local dealer. I have the 5yr extended warranty. I told him what was going on and that I still had power to the dash. He said he will order me a new meter assembly and call me to bring it in.
