Maybe the bulbs in the cluster have shat itself? or the fuses in the actual cluster have blown?

Have fun taking the cluster out. :laugh:

i dont know about 33's but on a 32 if the dimmer is unplugged then the dash lights wont work.. give that a check

happend to me, all other lights worked cept my speedo.. Locate the dim switch, it may be broken. I've just taped the 2 wires together.

Same here....

It still bemuses me that manufacturers ever bothered to put a dimmer switch in cars anyway.....

Why the f uck would you not want to see what speed your doing?

Anyway, check that, it's the most common problem.

The switch on mine was very tempremental....

Hey champ, had this happen in my s15 once, and thats cause the car runs so low, that the wiring harness to the fuse box got split, as the tyre scrubed out one of the wires which was the lights for the dash.

Have a look under your wheel arch at all the wiring harness that goes to the fuse box, this might be your problem :laugh:

FAIL!

that is 100% NOT correct, theres no such thing.. The wires are direct and do not come from under the car.

Rember that your car is a S15!

i dont have one ether.. hmm

marss, check the usual. cluster plugs at the back, there is 3 there. also the parker fuse in the boot. and of course, the globes them selves, might of had a short and blown them all? duno. but not hard to check for once the cluster is out. its not hard, easy enough to pull out in 15mins or less.

neither does mine... it's been taken out.. there is a high chance that a previous owner had taken it off..

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
