Default Need Help/Ideas: No lights instrument panel (Gauge Clusters)

2006 Roush S3
The car was purchased used.
Miles: 46K

Problem: No back lit speedo/tach/fuel/etc.

Items Checked:
*I checked the fuses and all seems well. I went by the book and then when I didn't find any blown I checked them all while I was there.

*Ruled out dimmer because it does dim the odometer/trip/radio and does turn on over head lamp


I was hoping is was just a burnt bulb but from what I am reading online these are LED lit? If that's true there is a bigger issue I believe, LEDs don't burn out very often. Especially when I bought the car with 45K on it.

I am looking for some ideas of what to check next or if someone knows what the smoking gun is.

Thanks guys

Did they ever work sense you bought the car? Does it have a warranty? I can tell you from the numerous times I took the cluster out of my 95 its not a fun job. Having small hands is almost a must.

As for whats wrong - would be a loose ground wire? I do not believe one bulb out should kill the whole cluster.

Hope someone else has some ideas.
