So I am on my third gauge cluster as of last night. The previous two both failed in the same way. All of the warning lights continue to work. The odometer continues to work also but all of the analog gauges and the digital readout for the speedo and clock die completely. The back lighting with headlights on also dies. I have looked every where for loose grounds on the strip behind the cluster and at every wire loom I can see and there are no visual issues. I have also checked all of the fuses with a test light and they are good.
Any ideas? It's getting expensive even buying used clusters.
Thanks guys!
