GM has issued a recall on this issue addressing vehicles with less than 70k. Good luck.
you need to replace dash illumination bulbs only problem the speedometer cluster has to be removed
I had mine fixed by mrwizzard.com I had to remove it and send it in. cost was about 100 dollars in 2003 for 1991 trofeo dash cluster.
The dash board in any car is usually unscrewed. You will need a power tool.
2003-2008 located in the dash cluster by your speedometer. 2009 On the information cluster above the radio.
Is it just the cluster or the whole dash lights are out? If whole dash check the fuse or as I have had similar problem light this was the headlight switch and replaced it.
Yes, can replace them...however, they are soldered in...they are cheap to get off ebay.
Should be on a panel under the dash undernieth the instrument cluster.
My dash lights went out and the cause was a bad alternator. new alternator fixed the problem
Answeri HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH MY '92 BONNEVILLE. IT IS AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHICH MEANS THE CLUSTER MUST BE REPLACED-VERY EXPENSIVE. SINCE THE SPEEDOMETER AND TAC BOTH WORK ALL THE TIME (IN MY CASE), I HAVEN'T REPLACED AND AM NOT PLANNING ON IT. I FIND THAT DISCONNECTING THE FUSE AND RECONNECTING IT CAUSES THE CLUSTER TO WORK FOR SEVERAL DAYS, BUT IT SHORTS OUT EVENTUALLY.You can have the dash cluster redone. I had the same problem with the dash on my 93 SSEI. The dash clusters on the SSE's and SSEI's have extra bells and whistles. I sent it to a place in NJ and they redid it for a surprisingly reasonable cost and it works great now. Part of the problem had to do with burnt out bulbs and a bad circuit on the back. It can be a little complicated to removed the dash cluster. If you need the info for the dash cluster rebuild place, I can get it for you.
a dash cluster, is the gauges and lights etc that are grouped together in front of the driver,
You take the screws out of the dash and remove the dash. Be careful or you will break it. After you get it off, you will have to disconnect like 3 wires to get it off, there are screws on the instrument cluster. You remove those and it pops right out. Mine went out in my trailblazer.
I had that same problem and I had to replace my dash cluster.
