I'm having an issue with the lights on the left side of my gauge cluster. All of the lights on the right side light up when I put the key in and turn to the ON position but none of the lights on the left side. I drove it around yesterday and I noticed that the cruise control light works as well as the check engine light so I'm doubting that it is a fuse. Anyone on here can give me any ideas and help me out? its a 93 s13 vert.

I would say the pcb is fried for the power section on that side (the power all comes from the same wire so it wouldn't be wiring). The only way to find out I its to get back there and do some testing.

a quick continuity test with a meter should be able to pin point the brake in the circuit board behind the cluster. once you find it just scrape off the epoxy in the are and drop you some solder on top of it and then melt it to the trace, but be VERY careful you can make the problem worse if you get too much heat on the board.
