I just gt my new tom me 90 IROC-Z and went to drive it tonight and had no cluster lights at all. The heater/ a/c lighs come on and dim, but not the cluster. I have searched for over an hour now and my eyes are going bonkers. Head lights come on along with tail lights.

I took the cluster out checked all the bulbs all good. Checked all fuses all good. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

head light switch

 

So I replaced the head light switch and that was not the problem. Could it be because a previous owner took out the stock air bag wheel and put in an aftermarket momo one? It's really weird my heater controls light up and dim with the switch just not the cluster is has no lights at all.

 

Has nothing to do with steering wheel. I'd pull the cluster out and see if the PO tried to put in LEDs or something - LEDs will not operate on a dimmer switch.

 

No the cluster has all of the right bulbs in it and I cant see where anyone has mucked with it.

 

Anyone? I am really stumped here!

 

TTT

 

bad circuit on the back of the cluster?(i have no clue how it goes bad or if im getting jerked around by my mechanic) my speedo doesnt work and he says its the thing on the back of the cluster that is like thin plastic with the circuittry running through it (i also have the same but reverse problem you have,,,dash lights work but no heat ctrls or radio ctrl lights he said its that circuit thing dunno sounds fishy to me though

 

I don't know if it will help you out at all, but I pulled out my cluster and took a small flat screw driver and pryed up on all the conectors that the cluster sits on. I now have dash lights.
