1998 Altima Gauge Cluster Bulb Illumination

[zgendron]

Hi All,

I have a 1998 Altima with the Gauge Cluster bulb burnt out. All of the other illumination points are fine: Cig lighter, HVAC, Doors, etc.

I'm guessing this isn't a quick fix, but hoping someone can help me out. I looked in the FSM and didn't really see anything helpful there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance! - Zack

Unless you have some electrical issue, you should be able to just replace the bulb. They're type 194 bulbs.

Did you replace the radio at some point? The reason I ask is the radio is part of the illumination circuit. Aftermarket radio installers tend to disregard the orange wire for dimmer control thus damaging the circuit. What happens if you spin the dimmer knob?
