Post by btgrande »

Hi there!

The instrument lights on the left side of the cluster went out today, it has happend before some times but they came back for a while.
Maybe a bad connection somwhere? -any ideas?

could be a dirty or corroded spot where the light goes through the circut board on back of the instrument cluster.

Sometimes it can be the wires on the wedge bulbs aren't contacting the pins in the socket good enough.
