Cluster gauge lighting - 1981 M20K

Hi,

Haven't flown in the dark in a couple of months and just plain don't remember or didn't notice;

Is there any backlighting to the fuel/oil/temp/ammeter gauge cluster or is it front lit from the the glare shield?  Schematic diagrams suggests that there is not.

I should have thought of that...my manual shows the same thing also. I'll need to look into this some more I suppose.

Looking at some pics, mine looks like that in the back too. Will pull the glareshield and more troubleshooting I suppose.

In the M20J the lighting wasn't added until 1982.  In my 1981 J the gauge cluster is the same part number as the lighted version and has locations for the bulbs but not the wiring to support it.  It seems likely that the same is true for the M20K.
