Cluster Bad???

[IndyPaceCar78]

Must be my month for gremlins......


I was driving home the other nite, and my entire cluster went black. Other dash lights (stereo, and climate control) are still lit. The cluster is functioning, where you can see it in the daylight, but pitch black at nite.

Could ALL have the bulbs burned out at once, or perhaps a relay or something? I can't imagine all the bulbs burning out at once, when they were fine when I started driving it...I did check the fuses and those were ok.

So now I'm wondering if I'm looking at cluster replacement or having it rebuilt? Is this a dealer item only, and if so, what kinda $$$ damage am I looking at this week?

I just replaced the ECM 2 wks ago, and the car runs and drives great, but guess it's time for some of the original parts to move on.......

Thanks for any tips or advice!
Indy:confused

I had the exact same prob....not cheap!!! your looking at about $250-400. But, thankfully was was able to fix mine. I had to re-solder one of the pins connecting the two boards cuz one came loose, it worked after that. I just ran into one other prob. I accidently chipped one of the display cystals..now I cant see my temp/volts. But everything else works now. Im still looking for the crystal ($$$). Unfortunatly it will not be cheap.
