    Cluster went dark...

    Driving home last night and the whole right side of my cluster went out. I dont want to pull it out untill I have an idea of whats needed as far as parts go and how much the bulbs are. Also I was wondering if anybody here has gotten the green red and yellow lights under the oil maintance light to work and what it usually takes, I figured a few bulbs and maybe a sensor or two but again I dont want to throw money at it untill I have an idea of what it will cost. I dont want to eat up my wheel and tire budget up. Thanks!!

    They are not too expensive...$29 for the bulbs + shipping. As for the service lights, check your SI batteries. They are certainly dead.



    you will basically need 3 types of bulbs :

    3watt without base (07-11-9-905-358-M97) = qty 3
    2watt with base (62-11-1-375-774-M97) = qty 2
    1.2watt with base (62-11-1-368-299) = qty 10

        Maybe I'm under thinking things here but if just the right side went out doesn't that mean just ONE of the 194-style wedge base bulbs went out? If so, hitting any parts store you can pick up a pair of bulbs (they come in pairs). For less than a few bucks...

          Very true, but I figure if I have it out I might as well replace them all. Also I have been meaning to clean and restore my gauge cluster. The only thing I can't find are the Service Indicator Batteries, only the curcuit boards with the capacitors that replace the old batteries BUT I dont have the $200 for it
