Instrument cluster lights

[fusionpaul]

Just had a 12000 mile service on my 2012 TB & noticed whilst riding last night the instrument lights weren't working, then about 2 mins later they were back on, pretty much on & off for the duration of the ride, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this & its a case of somethings not plugged in right or is it a case of back to the dealers again, certainly didn't notice this problem before the service.

Obvious and what might seem like a daft question - was it dark at the time? If it's just getting dark, because the instrument lighting is controlled from the photo-sensor on the dash, the lights can go on and off at dusk. Put your finger over the photo-sensor on the dash and they should come on.

My thoughts too

Cheers for that info, feel a bit of an idiot now as obviously i did not know that was the case ! At least you've saved me the embarrassment of looking like a numpty at the dealers, & yes it was dusk at the time.

Don't worry there's plenty of time for pithy and abusive comments to be posted, some will be days later....

A light sensor that can't make it's mind up is a crappy design fault that should have been sorted by the software engineers.

Some PVC insulation tape over the light sensor will fix it.

What you need is the Wunderlich instrument light sensor cover, only £59.99.
