Dash/ Instrument panel light is not working in 02 Disco
My 2002 Disco dash/ instrument panel light is not working along with light that indicate which gear the shifter is in. My headlights, turn signals, fog lights work fine. I have checked all the fuses and none are blown. In the past couple of years, this has occasionally happened, but when I turned the car on and off, the problem was fixed. I am not so lucky this time. It has persisted for a week now and is a safety concern. I have researched other posts on the LR Forum and a corroded ground sounds like a possibility. However, I do not know where that ground is. Any help with that idea or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice guys. Here is one other thing I discovered last night. When I turn on my Disco, the light around the gear shift indicating which gear I am in is illuminated. As soon as I turn my parking lights or headlights, that light goes out. It clearly appears to be related. Yes, my dimmer dash switch is on high.
Assuming it is a failing headlight switch, can you recommend a good parts website? What sort of time should a project like this take, assuming moderate knowledge of Disco?
Thanks!

www.autosportsunlimited.com, they are in Zeeland so you can save on shipping.
The headlight switch is a fairly easy DIY.
Also check www.roverlandparts.com and www.atlanticbritish.com

Sorry - am a newby....I just purchased a 98 Discovery II !! and finally took it for an evening drive -- headlights work, but the instrument panel light(s) don't -- dimmer doesn't do anything. The Right rear tail light and bumper light is out -- in reading these replys could they be "connected" problems ?? Thanks - ron ron@sunstatesavings.com

I'm having this issue and it looks as though I have definitely had water in my driver side taillight. What is the solution to this problem?
