instrument lighting problem
 

Was changing my intrument bulbs in my car because all the back lighting except the tach was light up, tough to guess at night. So I changed those bulbe, and then changed my temp and gas guage bulbs, but when I put them in, they didnt work. Check for continutity on both side of the bulb in the holder, and got nothing, but when I put my voltmetre wires to one side, I got .2ohms. Took out a good bulb and I got around 13.5ohms. Anybody know of any thing I could have done to mess up the bulb holder?

which 944, different cluster's.

you might have put bad bulbs in, check the bulbs for continuity, not the receptacle.

Its my 1984. Bulbs checked out good, continuity from 13.6, 13.7, 13.7, and 13.8ohms on the bulbs that dont work when I put them in there place in the instrument. I looked inside of one of the housing, and there is one cooper wire instead of 2. My guess is that the other 3 black things that the bulbs go in are unaligned and not getting power to the bulb

continuity means the filament is good.

in resistance/ohms, touch the probes together, that's what you'll see on a good bulb.
