    Hey guys, I let my brother drive my 360 for awhile. I picked her up and the dial lights are out. The odometer/fuel and needles light up. My manual is no where to be seen (kids) and no luck in search. I seem to recall that we do have a dimmer switch some where??????

    Help please!

    Its the 2 buttons to the left by the Sport and ASR switch. I think you hold them both for a second and then a number will display on the F1 Screen, from there you can go - and + with the left and right buttons.

    Thank you. I looked at the maunal and it says to push the left round button until you see the light symbol on the F1 screen. But then it says to push the (T) button to adjust the - and +. I looked all over the diagrams for a (T) and did not see it. I saw the (R) and (S) but no (T). Damn Italian's. Just kidding ;)

    Hmm. It is possible that your gauge lights have failed given only the needles light up. Hopefully that is not the case.

    Not cheap to fix.

    Ask me how I know.

    How do you know? ;) JUst kidding.....

    I did push the small round button when I got home late yesterday and saw the light symbol with the - and +. It was at 30-. I just needed to know what button to push to adjust up. That was the (T) button from the manual. I will try the other round button when I get home later today.

    No. If he did I will be surprised he knows what a battery is. I am pretty sure he tried to adjust the lights and pushed the wrong buttons.

    I guess I will find out tonight.

    Well that did not work. Any guys remember if the dash uses an external light bulb that can swapped for new knew or it is internally installed where you can not swap them out? If sealed, I guess I will need a new dash?!?!?!?!

    The dash uses an expensive high voltage lighting system. The reason I asked if he jump started the car is because if the jump isn't done carefully it can blow the dash lights.

    There are loads of threads - search for "360 dash lights".

    You cannot change the lights so you will need a new (or slightly used) one. I have seen them on ebay but you never know what you are going to get.

    Daniel from Ricambi recommend the services of Francochamps of America to fix my instrument cluster lights a few months back: http://www.ferrarioc.com/

    Before I stated that it was expensive to fix the dash light failure, but I was wrong.

    I sent my instrument cluster to FAI and they fixed the damaged power supply for $400 and sent it back to me the next day.

    Thank you Daniel at Ricambi for the reference.

    Oh, and since the instrument cluster was out I changed the tach face to yellow - easy to do.
