    Will probably require you to take the cluster out and replace some bulbs or clean the contact surfaces, does the lights on the speedo dim by turning the light switch ?

    You might have the dreaded white plastic cluster, which is very prone to deterioration. This is usually one of the first signs it is starting to fail.

    yes the lights dim by turning the switch. i also weeks ago went and got a new switch it was very affordable I guess i will put that in and then get new bulbs as well. Like i said everything works over on that side just not the back ground lighting but the lights for the signals and warning lights work just the background light behind it all and the gas gauge works too. thanks for replying buddy
