I have a problem with my background light in the gauges.
At night with headlights turned on, there is zero light in the gauges on the dashboard / instrumentpanel. It is not possible to see how fast i'm driving after dark.
How can I change the lightbulps?
There are no fuses blown!

Hi, Does Your Heater/Ac Light Up? If Yes, Then It must Be the Bulbs In The Instrument Cluster. But Before You Remove It, Call Chrysler And See What Kind Of bulb It Takes. To Remove Cluster You May have To Lower Your tilt Wheel And remove Covers, Then Remove Instrument cluster bezel, Some use Screws, Others Use Clips From Behind The Bezel. Be very Careful Removing it. Once you have the Bezel Off, Remove The 4 Screws That Hold The Cluster In place. Carefully Remove The Connectors From the Back Of the Cluster, You May Have To turn the cluster to Get your hand in Behind it.
Once, Cluster Is out Put On table, Lay Down a Towel First. So It Does not Get damaged. If Bulbs Are removable, You twist The Socket To Remove them.

Hope This Helps You,
Good Luck
