dashboard indicator lights
 

1996 audi a6 some of the dashboard lights have gone out

the R N D etc lights, the outside temp and milage, and the fuel
computer lights. these are all LED's I think. All the dasboard bulbs
are OK. Would anybody know what causes this

Thanks David Smith

My guess is a loose solder joint if they are LED's. Normally they put some
of these in series with some resistor, most likely this resistor is loose.
