I've got a 2000 Legacy GT LTD, and my gauge & HVAC lights have been out for some time now. They went out when doing some other electrical work in my interior, and I haven't been able to narrow down the problem.
I've got two guesses: blown dimmer switch, or loose wire. It's not the fuse (would be great if it was that simple).
So yeah....
Thing #1) Does anybody have a wiring diagram that shows the full path of the gauge and HVAC lights? The closest I've seen is where the power is coming from (seen in headlight wiring diagrams), but I need to find grounding points and such too, if possible. I noticed that Haynes finally did a manual for the 00-06 Legacy's, so if anyone has seen that and think it will help me out, I'd appreciate the input. Though I'll probably be getting one anyway :D
Thing #2) I plan on switching out the bulbs in the gauges and HVAC to my own custom colors. I have good electrical and lighting experience, so I should be able to tackle this project. But if anyone has already attempted something similar, I'd like to hear any feedback you may be able to offer.
I am taking a road trip next week as I am moving home (Bay Area, CA to Milwaukee, WI), so I won't be able to start doing stuff until Friday or Saturday, if I have ambition. But I'll keep everyone updated as to what I'm doing.
Oh, and hi! I'm Aken. Introductory post made just after this one, so watch out!
