Default SI Cluster Problems... Pls Help

I have an SI cluster, the problem is it only lights the tach side and half the odometer.

I checked the bulbs and replaced them with new ones to make sure, but its still the same.

can somebody help me with this? please....

is there a rip in the back circuit sheet?
I'm not sure, but checking the fuse box wouldn't hurt too.

sometimes you cant see the damage in the back of the circuit board.... if multiple bulbs are out you probobly have a break in the clusters board somewhere.... you can always just sell your broken cluster to me ill buy it fix it and maybe sell it back

Plug the cluster in and check the bulbs with a test light to see if they are getting current.

have you moved the known good bulbs to the other side to see if the bulbs on the dark side are good or not?
