Instrument cluster lights
Hi all. I have a 2003 GT conv. My dash lights don't work. I have checked all fuses and they are fine. Anyone have a tip ? I know I should trace the wires but just curious if there is another fuse that may control it ? Thanks everyone.

I have the same problem, I have read that if all fuses are fine then it could be the dimmer switch itself....or trace it to the gauge cluster harnesses, they could be loose. Thats all that i can say, until i take mine apart today and look at mine. Good Luck. If you found the problem please respond with your solution.

So update, I replaced the dimmer switch....Still didnt resolve it..however after taking out the gauge cluster / instrument panel from the dash. I noticed two wires that went from the circuit board into the cluster. A "red and black" wire, and touching the wires, i noticed the gauge lights would flicker on and off. So i removed the gauge cluster from the dash, took it inside, removed the wide panel that is attached to the back and cleaned it with a damp towel, then drying the whole thing off with another DRY cloth. Using electrical tape, pressing firmly to tape down the wires to the plastic panel, (not the circuit board). And replacing the white back panel, hooked everything back up.....PROBLEM SOLVED. I hope this helps! Now moving onto other projects.
