Well the two top lights on my speedometer went out the other day; two top ones close together that light the 50 & 60 mph. It's not a bad bulb I know for sure, I believe there getting now power because the bulb isn't making sufficient contact with the paper like circuit board on the back. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get power two these other then wiring them separate. Maybe a new circuit board?

 

Just how do you "know for sure"? Have you tried replacing the bulbs? I would try the easy stuff first.

 

Yea there LEDs I did the whole cluster swap, the same LEDs that are not working in the top will work in other slots. So yes I know they work.. Not a fuse because the whole panel would go out, not a blown bulb; it's a bad connection on the circuit board but I'm seeing if anyone has a cheap solution or advice

 

re solder it?

 

Wasn't soldered to begin with it just cones together with pressure when you twist the bulb.. I think the circuit board is worn where the bulb makes contact with it so it's not getting power

 

best of luck. here was my dash, stayed this way for 5-6 years lol. was a circuit issue at first but the bulbs eventually actually burnt out.

 

Thats all you need to see anyways

 

I have a question...When removing the gauge cluster...Is it necessary to unhook the negative ground cable? I didn't unhook it when I removed the cluster...everyone is telling me I'm lucky the air bag didn't deploy...I'm scared to install the cluster back now..any advice? and I don't mean to step on this post....But I don't know what I should do. I have to go to work tomorrow. Thanks

 

Just disconnect the negative and put it back if you're scared.

 

Why would the bag deploy I've done the dash with it hooked up
