Just bought an 08 Limited a week ago. Literally love the truck. However, something is up with my dash cluster. My gauges light up, but none of the needles are lit up. I've pulled the cluster out and inspected the physical bulbs. All the overall lights are LEDs and are working. But there are 4 different bulb locations using a grey socket that have roughly a type 74 bulb that were all burn out. I replaced those four bulbs and nothing changed. I've been looking thru the fuses and see nothing out of the ordinary. Anyone have any ideas?

 

It sounds like one of the light sockets on the 4 lights OR the circuit board has a short. The tabs make contact on the board as you twist them in place and on occasion one of these will tear and short to ground. Pull the cluster and inspect the board, the plug (to the board) and any wires around it for damage. Very strange. Normally you'll lose everything with a blown fuse. Also rotate the dimmer wheel to be sure there isn't a bad contact in the switch, which has multiple contacts to the cluster. Good luck
