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.

 

+1

Did you try it? Does it work now?

 

there's no rip at the back

checked fuse also, but still the same.

its like having a two faced cluster, the dark side and the good side.

 

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

 

i know its a stupid question but i checked the cable plugs again....

just to make sure, how many cable plugs does this have?

I only have 3.

The 2 blue plugs and the yellow

 

.

 

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

 

let me try this afternoon.

 

Check the circuit board tracks for continuity using

 

ok ill try this one too.

tnx for the info guys.

 

fixed the problem, for now... there was a small rip at the back. my bad...

 

found the small rip at the back...

my bad..

 

im having a similar problem in my si, replaced all the bulbs but the gas gauge and engine temp dont light up well. they kind of do but not as bright as they should. the needles dont light up at all.

 

how many bulbs did you replace?

do what the other guys suggested.

i checked the connections at the back of the cluster.

 

replaced all but 1 of the bulbs since it was the farthest away from the gas gauge. i cant think of what it would be

 

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