Cluster saftey question

[15Michaeljoseph]

So the right half of my cluster's backlight illumination wasn't working, bulbs good, but upon testing with a meter, right side positive contact isn't getting juice. My idea for a solution was to run a jumper from the left side positive to the right side positive. dry testing it in the car, it worked! So before I do my final soldering, is there anything else I need to do? I mean like lets say in the unlikely event that this 'dead' bulb contact starts getting electricity again while I have my jumper between the sides, will it fry anything? To my perspective, 12v is 12v and it won't matter that they're connected. but I may be wrong. Sorry for the paranoid thread, just asking.

soldered in my wire, put everything back together... and now I don't have to worry about not noticing if I'm overheating at night!! Thanks brother!

And BTW, the buttons on my OBC light up now too... they're connected to the cluster somehow i guess. I get to take that off my to-do list as well woohooo!!!!
