I am new to Mooneys and recently joined a group owning a 1980 M20K.

We have some smaller issues with instruments/panel lighting

 

One is Instrument lighting: The right dimmer does nothing!

My collegues told me, that they had some efforts fixing the problem.

Under the instrument panel, I find  back in the foot-space (sorry, I am german) another fuses-panel with 4 fuses.

One is missing and also the screw-cap.

I have no idea what these fuses are for, what type they are and where I can get replaement. The fuse-holder seems to be a Eaton-product. I have found it on digikey.com

The missing one is labeled "INSTR", which sounds for me that it has something to do with Instrument-Lighting.

What exactly does INstrument-Lighting? The left dimmer "Panel-Lighting" drives the lamps under the glare-shield and most of them are working.

Assuming they are stock... (if not time to chase wires through bundles or use an multi-meter)  with the maintenance manual wiring diagram for an '80 K model out there?

The instrument lighting buss is the lighting power used by radios and instruments for internal lighting. They are usually yellow wires in Mooneys . The fuse is an FM01 5A fuse.

Easiest way to find out is to follow the wire. Are the wires numbered? If so a schematic will tell
