1/4 Dash Lights Are Burnt Out
Well, I shouldn't say they're burned out-I pulled the cluster and found them all to be OK. This is on the tach side of the cluster, approx 1/4 of the lights all the way the to the right aren't working. I cleaned the part on back of the cluster where they screw into and still nothing. Short of buying a used cluster, is there any way to get these lit again? How hard is it to take the printed circuit board off a junk cluster and re-install on mine? Thanks for any help!

Did you try replacing them anyway? I've had bulbs that looked good but weren't. Also clean the metal part on the plastic caps that contact the circuit paper. Inspect the paper to insure there aren't any breaks in it as well.

Ok so maybe you already have but... did you use a test light to make sure you were still getting power to the cluster where the lights are out? also I have done circut board sodering before... wouldn't recomend it for untrained hands. it is too easy to overload the circut board with the heat from a sodering gun or wand. just get the cluster if you can.
