There is a photocell that controls brightness. My fuzzy memory recalls a blown low amp fuse may cause problems with the photocell control, just not 100 % sure what fuse it was. It may have been the 3 amp instrument fuse.
Anyway, here is some info on cluster from my FSM >> http://members.shaw.ca/dankai/Instru...%20Cluster.pdf
