Hello. I just replaced my stepper motors on my cluster. But now all my back LEDs are out. I checked all the connections and they seem good. Could they possibly be all burned out? Or maybe a fuse?

Normally the cluster is pulled out and rebuilt not just a stepper motor. Regardless it has to be reprogrammed to your car.

Yes actually all the stepper motors were replaced because they were sticking. It is a common problem with this make. But now it looks like all the back lighting/LEDs are out. Possibly needs to be replaced also.

You might of got an open connection, try removing the cluster again and then leaving the wiring hooked up and wiggle it to see if you can get the connection back. Its would be really rare that all the lights burned out at once.

Best, Ken
