[QUOTE="Tofufi, post: 608135, member: 38"] A multimeter is a useful tool to own if you're trying to diagnose electrical problems! You can get one for a fiver on eBay if you don't have one already. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132516115340. Using the volt setting you can determine if the bulbs on the dash are getting 12v, and using the continuity setting you can check the return side of the bulbs is earthed properly :) If you want to spend a bit more you can get one that also reads engine RPM and points dwell, which can also be handy for aircooled VWs!
