Dash cluster???

Tonight when I started my truck the lights on the rpm gauge went out or did not come back on, are they just bulbs or does this mean my cluster is going out?

If it is the whole cluster going out:

More than likely --- bad batteries / alternator.

Verify alternator output, load test and charge batteries.

Then see what happens.

If it is one bulb only... old age... see link below for panel rebuild

I just put new Batteries and alternator in about A week ago. It just happened on my way home and its only the RPM gauge, the needle still glows just no green backlight. I unhooked the batteries with lights left on for 30mins then hooked them back up but still doesnt work. Is there bulbs under thier that are easy to get to?
