Default Now the digidash...

I had a bro-in law "help" take my instrument cluster out and then re-install it. Now the lights aren't working right. First of all, during the day it is supposed to get brighter which it doesn't do anymore. Secondly, the display with the oil press/temp, coolant, mileage info isn't lit at all anymore. Should I be mad at my bro-inlaw or is there something he forgot to hook up when he re-installed that 300 dollar unit? Cuz I just spent about 2 grand fixing the tranny and clutch like a week ago. I'm hoping that someone knows where there is a fuse that must have blown or something simple like that. Any ideas?

I don't know about the electronics but I can tell you that the bulbs are fragile. Last week I took mine apart and replaced the bulb for the temp/fuel gage. When I put it back the whole left side was dark. Had to get 2 more bulbs and do the job again..Maybe you have the same situation.

I didn't know you could even take that apart, is it difficult to do?

I hope that's all it is.

Thanks

Not too bad to do. Just a bunch of screws. I'm not a expert. Some one else would be better at describing how. If you look at it you wiil figure it out.
