EL Glow Dials

Post by illmotion »

First it started to work sometimes and sometimes it didn't but now it has just completed stopped working.

I checked most of the fuses not sure what could cause it to stop working

the dial that i have is the one in this image http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mitsubishi-F ... 500wt_1268

any help would be appreciated and i don't know how to use a multimeter lol :?

Yup, would be the inverter. You can buy them off eBay for a couple of dollars.

Just search for "EL Inverter"

Ahhh there so many on eBay could you link me one that would suit it and is there DIY anywhere regarding putting the inverter in? Since previous owner put in the el system so I don't know what I am doing.

Thank you that it simple problem I was worried for a moment lol

Would you be able to find the EL inverter and take a photo of it?

Just take out the cluster and follow the wires.

To install it, it's just unplug the old one and plug in the new one.

The EL Inveter is the black square thing behind my aircond duct?

this is pretty much exactly from looking at it how mine was installed
