I did a search but couldn't find the answer I need. Today I swapped in some LED bulbs and the cluster lights wouldn't turn on. I tried swapping the old ones back in and it still doesn't work.
So I thought it might be a blown fuse but I checked all of them and they're all fine. The oil/brake/etc lights still work, and the tach still works but just no lights.
So if its not the bulbs and its not a blown fuse what else could it be?

Nevermind......... I plugged the harness to the dimming switch and it turned on
The clock light still doesn't work though, I tried the new bulb and old one, and used a different twisting base (not sure what you call those) that you stick the bulbs into and it didn't work.

If you have just one bulb not working then you probibly need to reverse it in the socket. Regular bulbs can go in either way but LED bulbs usualy only work one direction. There are some Bi-directional bulbs available but the cost more.
Just try reverseing the bulb in the socket.
