      Im wondering if anyone has any info on how exactly the needles in the guages light up. They all stopped working at the same time. There are 4 illumination bulbs for the guages themselves which work but those dont light up the needles as far as I know

      Im hoping its not the printed circuit board as that is $500

      Thanks in advance banana:

          College man hooked me up with that website and helped me fix an issue with my cruise control. In the interest of paying it forward, here is the link to your specific wiring diagram. If you use this site on your phone, as I do, I know it will help. http://www.revbase.com/BBBMOTOR/Wd/DownloadPdf?id=9570beda-152e-4134-ae20-cf29752d70a4

            All of the other backlights work minus the actual needles. Thanks for the link!

              The needles do have their own bulbs. It’s unusual that they would all go out at once however. Keep us posted on what you find.

                Well it turned out be an easy fix. The needles themselves arent lit. There are two bulbs that sit above and to the front of the guages that cast down illumination to the needles/guages. We just so happend to stock said bulbs and wha la! All ok now. I went ahead and replaced the main bulbs behind the guages just to save some hassle later on. Thanks for the replies!
