cluster lights not working..
Ok so i bought this 93 prelude from my friend and turns out the cluster wasnt working so i go buy a used one from the junkyard..I plug it in and everything turned out okay except when i went to turn the lights on at night the cluster lights didnt turn on..i already replaced all the bulbs and nothing. Also i put the old cluster back on to see if the lights work and nothing..So if anyone could give me any ideas or have had this same problem lmk thanks....

Have you checked your fuses in the interior driverside panel. My son's car is currently blowing a 15 amp fuse and it takes out the speed and tach and drivers side electric window. Currently troubleshooting but think it has to do with the new radio install but just a thought.

check to see that you dimmer switch is working. I had this issue after i removed my dash, I couldn't figure it out and when I went to troubleshoot the dimmer switch it was still unplugged

Try sourcing a dimmer switch that is known to be good, They have a tendency to go bad. Out of the probable causes this tends to be the most common and easiest fix.

Ok so i had this same problem. I did all the stuff listed above and nothing. Then my whole dash starts cutting out, yeah thats right gauges go dead and everything. Turns out i had a short under the dash on the drives side around your left knee area. Big issue for your average do it at home job. I had to take mine to a shop. Cost about 300 bucks. Not as bad as i had thought. I figured out it was a short because if i pressed around under the dash it would come on sometimes. Thats about all the help i can offer hope it works out
