fuel isn't going to work cause your car doesn't come equipped with a low fuel indicator, and the dimmer switch won't work cause jdm egs don't have dimmer switches

Maybe you're just out of gas? Anyway, that is strange. The only things that don't work on mine are the dimmer, gas light, and the thing that lights up if you open the doors. But, none of those are supposed to work anyway.

no, no wiring is required for the fuel gauge to work. I've had 2 different jdm clusters and both fuel worked fine, just the low fuel gauge didn't work of course, the dimmer. Everything else worked without any problems. Ebay is where i got mine from.

they can be pretty delicate and the fuel needle may have broken.

check all bulbs & make sure they all light up. You dont need the dimmer.

Anyone wonder what the hell the dimmer is there for anyways...? (US Spec)

in japan they dont have dimmer switches ..so in that area your cluster works fine...as far as the fuel thing...if you look like 5 threads up there is another guy withthe same problem..pay attention to this thread for future answers to your problem
