Light out in my gauge cluster...
Alright so i was out in the car last night and noticed that the light that illuminates the mileage, trip, temp etc. is out. I assume to fix this i will need to take the cluster out and replace the bulb. So my question would be what bulb do i need as well as how do i take the cluster out? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Your problem is caused by a small circuit board that attaches to the rear of the instrument cluster. I would also replace all of the illumination bulbs (I think they have a blue base), and it couldn't hurt to do all the warning bulbs as well. I think the warning bulbs have a green base, but it might be green for illumination, and blue for warning.

Well my grandfather said that it hasn't been working for a while when i asked him about it. He said it worked intermittently and then died out. So maybe they all didnt go at once.

The reason I recommended doing the blue base bulbs is that mine were all dim, and the bulbs were black when I removed them. They are the illumination for the entire rest of the instrument cluster.

My guess would be for the small circuit board in the gauge cluster, rather than a bulb. Here's a detailed video on (what I think is) your problem and how to fix it.
Thanks again!
