And to continue this from the other thread, the fact that you just put your dash back in makes it even more suspicious.

Did they all work before you took them out? I'd lean towards one of those crappy-ass plugins not being quite right on the back of the cluster. I'm completely paranoid of ever taking mine out again once I saw that they're just layed into a hole and the plugins are expected to go on them correctly every time.

I'd check that age fuse anyways, just in case. it is only 4 screws... :mrgreen:

No they didn't work when I bought it, which is why I took it apart to begin with. Changed everything out with new bulbs and connections.
Still don't work, but that fuse box had been nothing but hassel for me since day one. I should have ran when I seen it half ass zip tied up lol

Well, if the fuse is good one other thought is that the temp, oil, and volt are the only ones that come from the engine. If the speedo and fuel gauge works, then I'd also check the harness that comes from the drivers side of the engine.
