I adjusted the contacts on one of the bulbs and got it to come back to life.

I disassembled it all again and swapped the bulb for the right LCD with the center LCD bulb and reassembled.

I'll be replacing all three bulbs for good measure.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Crossposted at RennTech but figured I would ask here as well. In an effort to fix some blown warning lights, I removed the dash gauge cluster. I fixed the lights and reassembled everything and suddenly my left and center LCDs were no longer working. These were not lights that I had replaced. I disassembled it all again and swapped the bulb for the right LCD with the center LCD bulb and reassembled. Again, only the right LCD was working. If nothing else this verified that the bulb in the center LCD was not blown. I then took the car out for a drive and gave the gauge cluster a whack on the top of the unit. This caused the left LCD to start working again (along with the right LCD), but the center is still broken. Does anyone have any insight as to what could cause this type of behavior? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

I'd hit all of the connectors with contact cleaner. Any time percussive maintenance makes a difference, dodgy connections are likely involved.

POST 3Original post

That's because the flux capacitor took over. I would say something is not hooked up correctly, time to disassemble and recheck the lit bulbs.

POST 4Original post

Since you are probably now knowledgeable about the setup of the odometer, can you tell me if each of the digits had its own light? I think one of my digits is no longer functioning. Any insight into how to fix this? Thanks.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There is one 1.5w bulb for each LCD screen. 3 LCDs = 3 bulbs. At least that's how it is in my '99.

I adjusted the contacts on one of the bulbs and got it to come back to life. It appears that the other bulb is blown. It must have died during the initial disassembly process. I'll be replacing all three bulbs for good measure.

Thanks. Good info.
