Re: insturment cluster question

usually the fuse for the dash lights is the same one as your parking/running lights.

Re: insturment cluster question

pin point your problem by takeing ur cluster out, check for voltage on the corrsponding pin at the plug.

Re: insturment cluster question

there wont be a relay for the cluster since there is hardly any curent draw to light it up. could be your headlight switch. all of the lights dont run from one power lead off of the switch. there are more than one.
