How do you troubleshoot bad instrument cluster lights in a 1993 Volvo 240 with good bulbs and all other dimmed dash bulbs work fine?

Typically the problem lies with the rheostat, the knob you turn to make the dash lights brighter or dimmer. When you turn the knob a little metal finger rubs along a circular spring changing the resistance, thus changing the intensity of illumination. That spring gets corroded. You can clean it, or you can replace it.

Where is the control module in an 1988 fifth ave?

Taking a guess, Your 1988 5th Ave has a 318ci motor with Lean-Burn Engine control. Chrysler put the control module in the rectangle box attached to the side of the air cleaner. All of the engine control module is inside that box to include the transistorized ignition system. Your distributor will have two pickup coils in it and not have a vacumn advance located on the side of it which will be another way of telling if you have the Lean-Burn system.

How do you replace instrument panel lights on 1992 Chev Astro?

Remove: 2 instrument cluster bezel screws, on underside above steering wheel. 1 screw under left side A/C duct, 2 screws under HVAC control assembly, 1 screw behind control assembly. Disconnect HVAC control assembly. Loosen bezel by pulling out of clips holding it in. Disconnect electrical connectors for any switches in lower left side of bezel. Disconnect headlamp switch. Remove bezel. If there is enough clearance not all of the steps below may be necessary. Remove engine cover and lower instrument panel insulator. Disconnect PRNDL shift cable.

Remove 2 screws from cluster assembly and pull assembly forward. Lamp and socket assemblies are one piece and can now be removed by turning the assembly and pulling it out. Replace lamps and sockets as one piece. Change them all now!! There are 6 #194's and 10 # 74's.

To reassemble, re-install the cluster and reconnect all connectors. With the transmission shift lever in neutral, pull on shift cable until the needle indicates neutral. Attach cable securely to lower shift bowl. Make sure needle is centered on the N. The cable must rest on the shift bowl and not the column jacket. Re-install the lower I/P insulator and engine cover. Reconnect all connectors to light switch and accessory switches and reinstall bezel cover. Reinstall HVAC controls and tighten all screws to 12 inch pounds of torque.

What does the engine symbol mean on the dashboard?

That is most likely the Check Engine Light. In most usual cases, it's just a faulty sensor you need to replace. Any dealer of your brand of vehicle has code readers for these lights and could tell you what sensor is faulty. Beware, they can be costly though. Anything computer is. I believe you would not pass inspection if this was not fixed. Now if the Service Vehicle Soon light came on, stop driving it, you'd have a major issue that could kill the engine.

if you feel underneath the dashboard to the right of the steering column; you will find a button. push and hold it until the light goes off. It is hard to feel, it is probably best to just get down there and look for it. In my 1999 integra it is a little square blue button.

What are the meanings of the dashboard symbols and warning lights on a vw caddy?

There are many different lights and indicators on the dashboard. For example, one will indicate the level of washer fluid in the windshield wipers, one will light up when the car is low on gasoline, one will illuminate when the engine needs servicing. This is just a sampling of the many indicators on the dashboard. Check the owner's manual of the car for more information.

Can a plane land on a full tank of fuel?

Some can, some can't. Larger air-transport category aircraft have a maximum landing weight limitation. If enough passengers, baggage and fuel are aboard, the plane could be over the limit. If the plane could not complete the trip, perhaps because of weather, it would have to circle around, burning fuel, until the weight was low enough. In an emergency, the plane would dump fuel overboard to lower the weight. This situation generally happens on long flights where the plane is in the air many hours and thus requires a large fuel load, such as on trans-oceanic flights The limitation is not whether the tank is full or not, but total weight. The same aircraft with full fuel and no passengers might be legal to land with no problems. Smaller aircraft actually have the opposite problem. If they are overweight, there is not enough power to take off. If they are light enough to take off, they are light enough to land. So the precice answer to your question depends on the model of aircraft and the additional weight of passengers and baggage.
