please tell me cause i dont kno...my gauge cluster isnt lighting up when i turn my lights on...the other lights light up like the check engine and e brake lights things like those...but not the gauges...any suggestions? thanks

I had a problem just like that. my problem was i had a loose wire under the dash. check around and wiggle the wires around if you need to. when you hit the right wire your lights will come on and you'll hear the idle drop. my wire was lose becuase the previous removed the security box and didn't put everything back together tight. hope that helps. also check your fuses.

Could also be burnt out cluster bulbs, they're very inexpensive.

lol true but I doubt they ALL went out at the same time. Check the wires around your dimmer switch - if one of those is pulled out none of your dash lights will come on.

Well if you do not want to trouble shoot your problem or see if the above answers fix it, you could always duct tape a small flashlight on your steering wheel and point it at your gauges. But I would def try and figure out if it is a loose wire or bulbs gone bad.

well someone had installed a security box in there prior to me purchasing and was one of the worst electrical jobs i have ever seen so it might be that but ill get under there tomorro and wiggle em around thanks for the help

95MPH. Hope this helps.
