i have no lights in my guage cluster when i turn my lights on. checked behind the cluster to make sure all the plugs were in, checked all the interior fuses and they were all good, and i checked the main fuse box in the engine bay just for shits and giggles and those were all good. any ideas why im not getting any back lighting? i looked at a couple of the actual lights and the filaments inside were not broken. please help!

yeah your dimmer switch is broke replace that shoudl work

you're talking about the knob that controls the backlight intensity? is it controlled by the box on the back of the cluster? what is involved w/ replacing it?

pop out the trim and shit and the damn switch comes right out...plug and play deal

sk8rmike

where'd you get your new one from?
