allright today i was changin the color of the bulbs on my gauges and then put them back in their spot. when i turned the car on everything was fine. when i stepped on my brakes my radio shut off. when i got home i pulled the cluster back off. i looked around and noticed that one of the little bulbs on the bottom left side(if youre looking at the back of it) was missing the bulb and holder. my speedo, tach, and all of the other gauges dont work. what can i do? do i need a new cluster or where can i get a new bulb and holder?

I can tell you that your problem is not because of a missing bulb, at one point i had taken out all 3 of those bulbs and their holders. (your talking about the black things that the bulbs plug into and then twist into the board right??)
Theres gotta be some kinda loose wire that you pulled on when you pulled that thing out. Check it out back there. --------------------  I am now a part of the ihavemorethen16gc club! |
