No, there is no bulb.

You need to replace the unit itself.

fuse box is located next to where your left leg would be if you were sitting in the car. Right near the hood latch.

Is the cheapest place in the web, theres a lot of possible factors that make your cluster go out, one is to check solder tracks. Ive been a elect. tech for 20 years and gave up on this thing, I did sent out for repair, because I want it one real bad.....I suggest you do the same, if you have the money and you want one real bad , then get repair and get the 2 year warranty. If you dont feel this way, get an analog regular one and save some money....

HEHEHE!!! My friend that was my first question to Mr. Whizard, but he wont release any trouble shooting info becuase this is how he makes his money. I dont blame him, TV repair and other techs work the same way, specially with something that is kind of unique and he is getting a lot of businness with it.....


Search the groups for tips but I dont think you are going to find anything new that you and me already know, that these clusters are famous for failing after so many years......
