    Spilled glass of water down dashboard by instrument panel. Now only lights on right side of panel work. No lights on left side of panel work.

    What are all possible causes of this and what would be the repair process?

    Thanks

    the water....? j/k

    guess you have to take it apart & literally hang it out for drying /
    (might not be a bad idea to give it a splash with pure alcohol after you have it out_

    Only problem with that is this happened months ago and I am sure has already dried.

    What is the part I would buy and why would only half the lights on dashboard work? Any idea?

    Thank You.

    combination meter. it's a huge job, and you need to get the odometer set legally, iirc

    you could try looking for fuses, maybe they are separate, idk.

    call matt at texas hybrids and ask his opinion, he rebuilds them.
