Hi,
The left side of my pod is not lighting up. If I jiggled behind the pod on the left side, it would come back on, but no longer does so. I had my pod off a few weeks ago, and I am sure I caused this. I know I have seen pod wiring diagrams before but I can't find mine now. Does anyone have advice before I start pulling stuff.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Pull the pod...

odds are something is not making contact...clean the contacts while your at it

OK it looks like I broke the tab on my instrument panel where the left side 14-pin receiver clicks onto it. It is not the loose part, but part of the panel itself. I am going to try JB Weld to repair, and if not, I will have to pull the panel completely and try to make some kind of a bracket. We'll see how the JB works for now.
Thanks,
Dave

This was the correct answer. My JB Weld repair failed and When I pulled the instrument cluster I was able to drill a hole so I could zip tie the loose connector into place. Shortcuts never really work, do they?
Thanks for the help,

I was still having problem with left side instrument light not working. I found a wiring diagram somewhere that I had printed in the past. All three lights work off two contacts of the left side 14 pin connector. If two lights are working, something was affecting one only. Luckily the left side light holder can be reached from below the pod, and I found it was loose. Light came on when I twisted it.
Small victories count too.
