Just picked up my 89 240sx coupe.

The HUD / digi speedo does not work or light up, the tach works but does not light up ; the tempgauge and fuel gauge work but do not light up.

On the hvac control nothing lights up except the green light telling you what is selected(floor, defrost, ect)

Searching around the various forums I found a link about capacitors in the speedo board. Tested them by heating them and it did nothing.

Played with dimmer switch to be sure it was up all the way(is there a way to test this?)

Any ideas?!
