Instrument Cluster Lights Out!
Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum and need help figuring out how to get the instrument cluster in my '97 EXT to light up again. All of the guages are out but "idiot lights" still work (i.e. seat belt, check guage, check engine, etc.). Radio lights work as well, but no AC lights. The dimmer will still dim my radio lights and will still illuminate my dome lights when fully engaged. Head lights work fine (although for a while, they did not work and I had to use my highbeams to drive at night. They just started working again). I've followed the instructions on some of the posts here and I've taken my instrument cluster out, replaced all the bulbs, and still no cluster lights working. I also replaced my headlight switch, and still no cluster lights working. This happened to me once before, and after switching out all of my cluster bulbs (although they didn't all need to be replaced) the cluster illuminated for about 2 months before going out again. Didn't work this time. Need help!!! As you can imagine, this is extremely discouraging and frustrating, especially trying to drive at night! I love my truck, but hate that I can't get the cluster panel to illuminate. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
