Double check for taillights to make sure the tailights/cluster fuse is not open. Other than that, check the light/dimmer switch. It is also possible that all the bulbs are burnt out. But not likely.

ok anyone got a switch to spare around? cheep or donation

check cluster ground. If I remember right it is just a clip that snaps on the dash sheetmetal.

alpha_male0203 · 09-16-2004, 03:49 PM

is it the cord that goes from the right side of the cluster to the cig metal? that is loos but if made it tight and still dont work i check all the conections and everything and nothing.

have they ever worked for you? the dimmer switch might be turned all the way down...not that anybody would do that..cough girlfriend cough. I would check for power at the switch first.

alpha_male0203 · 09-16-2004, 04:45 PM

yea they worked and all the turned up. check power though. i get power to head lights and then the brights those blue dots and then the two turn singals and that is all and then gauges all work. don't have a clue what it is unless the whole switch is bad and only working part way.

The cord that goes from the right side of the cluster to the ash tray metal is a small fiber optic. That whole connector where it connects to the dash comes out and has one of the dash bulbs in it. The fiber just carries a little bit of light down to the ash tray.

(Gotta give credit to TROYLV here on the board for that one for explaining what that was to me when I asked a while back)
