I just changed the lights out on my camaros gauge cluster. When I turn the lights on all the lights turn on but the ones in the cluster. i made shure that the dimmer was turned all the way up and they still dont work. Any idea why?

 

What size (#) bulb did you use and have you checked the "TAIL" & "INST LMP" fuse?

 

i sued the origonal bulb size and the fuses are good!

 

I had a similar problem. It seems the camaro is more prone but, the terminals that the cluster plugs into tend to flatten out (loose their arch) and get corroded over time making for a bad connection. Older style clusters I've medded with tend to get 'gremlins' as in, the gauges don't read correct, a lamp or two lights when the ignition is keyed on, some lamps go out when the headlights are turned on.

An emery board nail file works well to clean the contacts and some dielectric grease will help assure good contact and help prevent corrosion. A eyeglass screwdrive works well to get under the terminal and 're-arch' it. Not saying that's deadup your problem, it's just that is what has worked for me anyhow...

 

thanks i will try that and let you know if it works!

 

When's the trial and I hope you get a big settlement out of them.

 

I tryed your trich and it work. The contact tabs were a little dirty so i cleaned them off and it worked. Thanks for the sudgestion.

 

The fact you said it beyond me thinking that when I replied made it so much more funny for some reason lol

Good to hear it was a simple fix for you gogo
