The dash light for the speedometer isnt working. The other lights in the insturment cluster work as does the dimmer switch. I replaces fuses 1 and 33 to get the lights working and the speedometer lights still aren't working. Any suggestions?

Hello,

This could be just a burnt out bulb in the odometer. I have included step by step directions for replacing any burnt out instrument cluster bulbs in the diagrams below. I hope this helps.

Thanks,

I’ve changed all of the lights in the instrument cluster. The only ones that don’t work are the three that illuminate the speedometer. Could it be that these bulbs aren’t getting power from the plug on that side of the cluster? If so can you tell me which wire in that plug feeds power to those lights?
Thanks

Do you have a more detailed schematic of the instrument cluster?

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not have a detailed schematic. Usually if there is a problem with the instrument cluster, it is replaced as a single item. We don't get into the circuit boards of components that way.

Thanks,
