    Which cluster bulb do I need to replace

    I pulled my cluster today to replace a bulb and remove the annoying "check" light bulb. Upon reassembling everything worked great until I drove the car at night and realized only half of my cluster is illuminating the orange light. My tach/temp side orange lights aren't on when the headlights are on (note: they worked before I pulled the cluster and the other side of the cluster is properly lit). The tach/temp gauges themselves work fine, so I assume I just need to replace a bulb or check the connection. Does anyone know which bulb controls the tach/temp side of the cluster?

    Thanks much.

    There's only 2 bulbs... The side that's not illuminated is the one that's out or possibly just got bumped loose.

      oh, is it the one that dangles on a wire (e.g., not a screw in bulb with a black base)? if so, i know that one.

        No fairly certain it's the screw in ones. Only bulbs behind orange covers.

          Try giving the top of the dash above the cluster a quick solid smack with your hand. Every time I pull my cluster it does what you described until I give her a love tap:)

            Its a 3w twist in bulb that can be replaced with or without the base

              Went back in later and found it. I must have jostled it when pulling the dash. Gave it twist and it was working again. Thanks to all who responded.
