The two bulbs illuminating the trip computer in the instrument panel were burned out. I followed instructions on Bay 13 for removing the panel. Changed out the two burned out bulbs. I knocked loose two of the blue bulbs illuminating the warning lights trying to get the panel back in, plus straining the wires going into the trip computer, but it appears to be working in all modes. When I got it all back together the trip computer bulbs work, but those illuminating the speedometer and tachometer do not. Hard to tell how many bulbs behind the gauges are not working. Did I stress or pull loose a wire, or screw up the circuit board somehow when I knocked loose a couple of the warning light bulbs? I didn't touch any of the others that illuminate further up on the instrument panel. The car is a GLT with the low pressure turbo but no turbo gauge or vacuum line to disconnect. It was a witch getting that panel out and even worse putting it back in. What could I have done to knock out most of the light to the top of the panel? The bulbs I scraped loose trying to get the panel back in were warning light bulbs, and after reinstalling them (had to crimp down on the tiny metal tines a bit to make them hold because they were bent up) they all work.
