Dash light cluster went out above oil and battery gauge. Now the speedometer lights that illuminate the mph range from 70 MPH to 100 MPH went out.

What is the fix?

You will need to remove the clusters and replace the lights, which is not that hard to do. I have included instructions on how to do the job in the images below. The bulbs are at the rear of the cluster gently turn them counterclockwise to remove. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Thank you for the response. The day I was going to follow the instructions to remove the instrument cluster the dash lights came back on. They illuminated the instruments gauges and the speedometer as well. They stayed on for about 1 hour then went out again. Is there a resistor or some other inline device that may be causing this problem? If not then the cluster is going to be removed and the bulbs replaced.

There is but it is internal inside the cluster circuit board, let's hope it is just the bulb or bulb connection. Please let me know.
