Dash Cluster:

Halogens wont turn on and signals and bright light stay on (Solid no flashing unless I ask them to)

I checked and double checked the wires..Nothing
I checked and cleaned the pins/plug..Nothing

So I went in put on my surgical gloves asked for a scalpel and tore apart the cluster well would you look at that!

The bottom circut board (Which holds all the light bulbs) has a path that connects all the bulbs then leaves the board in the form of a pin to the second lvl circut board. Now on the second board there is a plug looking mount for these pins! well well well look at the charred plastic! one of the pins (Happens to be the one for the lights) had lost its connection to the top board and has been ARCING out (hence the charred white plastic)!!!!!

So instead of a expensive rebuild or replacement I showed it to my buddy Dave (Owner of a Electronic Repair shop) and he laughed (Told me what a good problem solver I was LOL) and is going to repair it for like 30 bucks CND!
