Take them out and examine them, the holders especially if they come out, I'd guess the holder is not making decent contact with the circuit board. Try swapping them side to side to confirm.
I don't think they are individually fused side to side (unlike primary lights such as headlights)

Re: PICASSO dash light illumination problem
Thanks spider.
Putting the meter across the back of the dash gauge.. On the leftI have 10.9volts and on the right I have 7.2volts...no illumination on the 7.2 v side at all...
Fused together I believe...
So what gives??? heeeellllpppppp!

Re: PICASSO dash light illumination problem
7v probably not enough to light a 12v bulb properly. It may be on but too dim to see.
Examine the tracks around the clocks for any signs of corrosion or other damage, also remove the multi plug(s) and check them too, a weak connection on a plug is not unknown.
