I would probably pull the whole cluster out and really inspect the printed circuit. Sounds strange that none of them work. I would also bench test EVERY socket to make sure they all work. I put in new bulbs, cleaned the contacts that touch the printed circuit and I still had a bunch of lights that didnt work. It was driving me crazy. I wound up pulling everything out, tested every single one. Some worked after I tweaked the contact in the socket, some didnt even after I did that. Got replacement sockets and they all now work fine. It was a huge pain in the butt.
Ok guy yes i have the whole cluster so i will do that because i am getting power to the printed circuit.i just bought the car and it sat for seven years so i knew that i was going to have some problems but this is a little much. i allso so got another complete dash with the car and that one is doing the same thing.so who knows, thanks for your response,bob.
Yes mike i found the problem the printed circuit is bad i put a jumper two lights down the strip and every lite came on except for one and the two i skipped. now i have to find a new printed circuit strip.Any ideas there ? thank you very much for steering me in the right direction, Bob.
I got my new printed circuit board from Mikes Montes. It worked out great for me. You will need the gm # on the back of your old circuit board to make sure you order the rite one. I have bought many parts from him, fast shipping and never a problem.
Yup, Mikes Montes. I bought mine from Mike and its a quality piece. I think theres two different part numbers. One for gauges and one for no gauges. Give him a call. Hes a great guy to deal with.
Dont forget, bench test EVERY bulb socket before you put it back together. Trust me !!! I learned this the hard way ! It sucked to take everything apart again. And dont cheap out, buy a couple of boxes of bulbs from rockauto. They dont cost a lot of money.
one of the members here recently got the printed circuit repaired
