Need Help with my Instrumental Cluster Lights!
Hello,
Well, I tried to replace my stock bulb(s) with LED Bulbs. Unfortunately, it's not working for me. I only wanted to do one side to test them to see if they're working. When I turned my car on, this (Picture) happened. I turned the LED bulbs 180° and still wasn't working. I brought 4 different LED bulbs that says that it was compatible to my car, but nothing. I even brought replacement stock bulbs to see if it works and still not working. All the other lights seems to be working as you see in the pics.

All the lights are on the same fuse and there is only one wire bringing 12 volts to the instrument cluster for the lights.
Remove the instrument cluster but leave the cables attached. Get your voltmeter, turn the lights on and check the little contact pads that the light bulbs touch. Each light will have 2 pads, One side is ground and the other is 12 volts.
If you are missing the 12 volts on the one side, you may have cracked the printed circuit board and you will have to find and repair the broken trace.
If you have 12 volts at each of the lights that don't light up...don't know, have to think about that.
