So your cluster back lights don't work? Or the cluster warning lights don't work? What is the problem?

Have you checked for blown fuses?

Just get a replacement cluster. However, I still doubt that is the root cause of the problem.

Not to be mean, but if you knew what you were doing then you would know it is a plastic circuit "board" And if you are really really good at electronics you can easily create jumper lines to skip over the damaged sections.

1. i do know what im doing but since its a car i didnt know if names were different, and
2. for me to bypass broken sections, i might aswell just build me a new board, hence me wanting tto buy a new one.

Have you check your local craigslist ? These clusters usually go for under $30, I bought a spare for $10 !!
