>I hope someone can help me get my dash gauge lights on my TR4A working. I
can't pull the knob off the rheostat, so I can't check the condition of the
wiper assembly itself. Looking from underneath, the rheostat has 4
terminals.
The lower left (when viewed from back) has a red wire connected. The lower
right has a thinner red and white striped wire connected. The upper right
has
a connector with 2 thicker red with white stripes wires connected. The
upper
left is not connected to any wires. Should it be? What colour?
I looked in TRF catalogs for rheostat assembly, and couldn't find any.
Also,
this weekend I installed a NOS Lucas column light switch. The dash
illumination was out before that though.

Probably is the rheostat. You can take the red wire off the terminal and
touch it to one of the terminals with the Red/White wires and the lamps
should come on full bright. If they do then the rheostat is at fault.
Good luck getting the knob off.
