Sorry for the delay in getting to you.  Dash lights:  All dash light wiring
is red with a white tracer.  The circuit looks like this:  Power comes from
the light switch (terminal S2) through a red wire to dash switch.  From the
dash switch red with white wires goe to the dash lights.  Clamp a piece of
wire to the hot fuse, crawl under the dash and apply power direcrly to the
red/with white wire running off the dash switch.  If lights, one of the
switches is shot.  If no lights, the ground for the light circuit is NG.  If
lights, start workng back with a circuit tester and check for power at the
dash switch, then for power at the light switch.  I would suspect the dash
switch is the culprit.  John Trifari   1980 MGB/1955 Healey BN1
