Okay, my gauge cluster will not light up. I have S13 ka24e with stage 2 clutch, tanabe coilovers, tanabe medallion exhaust,solid motormounts, intake and fog lights....The cluster stopped working after fog light installation and have been dark ever since. I have replaced TCU, bulbs and jumped a wire on my new tcu that was burnt as well. Replaced dimmer switch too. 2 Days ago when I replaced the bulbs in the back of the cluster, the fog lights and the aftermarket radio went out too......I have checked all fuses in the kick panel and they are good, my speedo and tach work also and all the little lights on the bottom of the cluster are great, even a little brighter now. I am utterly stumped....I have read every freaking write up on the net about this common issue and no conclusions....Am I missing something? Is there some other fool-proof method I have yet to discover? Please help!!!!!! Someone!!!!

Thanks to Biggamehit for introducing me to this site

so you've replaced every led bulb in the back of the cluster?

it seems that where the fogs are connected its causein a feedback...i would disconnect fog lites and then attempt to the get the cluster to lite up again..then try connecting fogs somwhere elses...

check wiring, where did you wire the fog lights up to? hopefully not to your illumination. also check to see if your getting 12 volts to the fuse.

I'm just wondering why he felt the clutch, exhaust, coils and motormounts were of any relevance to the thread . . .LOL!

The motormounts . . .well there's yer problem . . .take those out, and your dash will light up.

I'm actually pretty sure it's his frame, has to be causing it to not illuminate!!!

LMAO you guys HAHAHAH

but to be serious.. check you 10amp electronics fuse.

also make sure if you swapped the bulbs in the cluster that the polarity is correct.
