Cluster lights out!

Hi. my instrument cluster lights don't work. I tried fitting leds, they worked for a bit then I blew a fuse. changed the fuse and they worked then stopped again but didn't blow the fuse. whats strange is that I had already swapped out the original bulbs for red leds which I didn't like but worked fine for several weeks... Can anyone help?

It depends what LEDS you got as I found the last bunch I got only worked when they where plugged in a certain way. if i turned them they where fine. It was odd but they work now. Its worth a shot to see if it helps for you

Yeah I know what you mean, they only work one way but they were working then they all cut out. The gauge fuse is ok. Im lost. Is it possible something is wrong with the circuit board maybe?
