hi, today on the way to work, i noticed the gas indicator light wasnt on, but the rest of the cluster was lit up. for example the temperature gauge was lit up and the rpm was also lit up, but not the gas indicator. it seems as if the right side of the cluster went out. my question is are there light bulbs i can replace it with or any fuses i can replace? i looked for fuses but didnt see anything, or do i just need a new cluster? plz help, much appreciated, jimmy.

shouldn't be any bulbs to replace...

Dude, what are you smokin'

Yes, there are incandescent bulbs behind the cluster... about 5 on the AP1s, don't know about the AP2s, but probably similar. The bulb for that section most likely burned out or is loose. To get to it you'll need to drop the steering column and remove the cluster trim... not a hard job, but can be a bit time-consuming.

^^ah i was thinking the whole cluster was like the tach/speedo. i guess not!

You do realize the entire cluster is lit from behind by bulbs, including the tach/speedo, right?

i feel dumb. i thought the tach/speedo was lcd. if i ever need help with anything electrical i'll be sure to contact mr. master's in electrical engineering!

It is LCD... but it's backlit by bulbs.
