so ive had my turbo timer in for about a month and today when i finally decided to put the steering collum plastic pieces back together (im a pro-procrastinater ha ) i got in the car to leave, turned on the headlights and all my cluster lights were out (speedo, tach, gas and temp) with the exception of my warnings (brake light n stuff)

what did i do/hit/screw up?

Same happend with me. Before I messed with it (lights/needles) it was just the temp. gauge and speedo. After I finished it and threw it back in, nothing worked. I just ended up buying a new cluster for like $10 and throwing the led's in it. Works fine now.

I originally thought the speedo problem was the gear in the trans though. I guess it was just the cluster.

If you've messed with wiring and cluster light is out, it's most likely TCU.

How about the cluster light dimmer switch? To the left of the steering column.
