Left half of my dash doesn’t light up, replaced both of the illum bulbs, still nothing.

Curious if one of y’all has pictures of what shoulder points could be affecting this.

I’ll double check the fuse today, but am almost positive it’s something back there.
 






Hi, at least in some cases, the copper on the back panel layover on the dash can get an oxidation layer on it and you can clean it up with an abrasive pad and the lights will work.

I will pull the cluster back out and take a check; am trying to sell it; so on top of tuneup stuff, I’m trying to make it better than when I got it.

So far it’s got heat and headlights now lol
