Good luck with it dude.

I'll give you my secret.

I use needle nose pliers to pull the fuses out. Using tools seperate us from the animals..

Simple things first. Electrical problem = check all fuses.

Edited by Ben C34

I use a test light with a probe - no need to remove the fuses.

Possible cause - there are three (maybe two its been a while) plugs that push into the back of the cluster - check that they are pushed right in.

thanks. I did get out the pliers and check them all, all good... I'll check the plugs in the morning.. And it's both the cluster ie speedo and tacho, plus also the ones in the middle ie voltage and front/back torque split.

I know this is digging up a pretty old thread (and might not even be watching it any more), but did you ever end up figuring out what the issue was??

Exact same thing has happened to me (S2 RS4), I installed a new head unit and replaced the 2 bulbs that light up the auto shifter (they were blown) while I had all the centre console out.

When I put it all back together the cluster guages, and a bunch of other lights (including the shifter) aren't working now.

Checked all the fuses in the cabin and in the engine bay (just in case). Didn't try the plugs behind the cluster yet, but dont really see how they could have come loose.

I had the battery disconnected the whole time, so I don't think I have blown anything, but I suppose it is possible.

Or anyone else got any ideas?

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
