Help... gauges out!

[Unistang]

My car has been sitting for about 2 months now and when I went to start it up... my gaugues won't turn on. It seems like it's the only thing that won't light up. The odometer and turn signals all work... just the backlighting won't turn on. Any help? I'm supposed to have a guy come look at my car in 3 hours. This sucks.

Thanks,
Nick

Did you check the fuse and dimmer?

 

[Unistang]

I pulled every single fuse out... nothing seems busted. Plus I'm starting to think that if it was as fuse... the whole cluster wouldn't work... no?

 

[hawaiiancobra]

most likely cluster needs to be replaced, not uncommon on the terminator

 

[Unistang]

any idea what those are going for on these?

You weren't cleaning the car and rotated the dimmer knob?

 

[SpectorV]

you can pop it out and check the power on the timmer switch to ensure its going in and comming out of the switch.
