Hi guys!
I want to finally finish my interior but one thing is driving me absolutely nuts.
The cluster lighting just gives up intermittently. It can be any one or multiple of the 5 bulbs. It occurs mostly on the left side, speedo/fuel gauge, but not exclusively. Then they suddenly come back either by themselves or by twisting the headlight switch back and forth a few times.
I have replaced all 5 bulbs, cleaned the connectors on the bulb housing, headlight switch, and the tracks behind the cluster using isopropyl alcohol. Still happening. I don’t see any loose contacts except that my headlight switch is a bit “sandy” feeling and sometimes doesn’t click into place in a satisfying manner.
To add to that, sometimes only one (can be left, right, or none) headlights work. I need to play around with the headlight switch and find that “sweet spot” where both headlights work. Could be a bad switch of course, but that doesn’t really explain the cluster problem. No issues with my taillights or any other lighting either.
Would appreciate any help! Removing the dash and cluster over and over again is getting boring
Cheers,
- Vincent
