Toyota Echo gauge cluster lights wont turn on?

The gauge cluster lights do not light up. I checked the fuse and it is good. I pulled out the cluster and checked the bulbs they are good. I also pulled out the dimmer switch and hooked my multimeter to it and it has 12v on one end and gradually goes down as I turn the knob down to .033v so I assume that is working properly. If the cluster is bad how can I repair it? If its just somewhere I could re-solder a point to get it working again that would be cool!

SOURCE: gauge cluster lights won;t light

When you put the stereo in, what did you do with the red wire with a green stripe? The aftermarket radios don't always use these, so you have to wrap the ends, depending on whether or not you used a wiring harness. If that wire is shorted on the chassis, it will blow the dimmer fuse.

SOURCE: dashlights and high beams wont come on

Play with the ignition switch,If you can disable the starter when the engine is running and can do it in a very safe manner,this way you can turn the ignition and check to see if a ignition electrical part is failing, If you cant disable the starter just be careful how you turn the ignition you are only ruling out the ignition switch electrical part as possible problem or even the solution

Which fuse runs the lights on the dashboard? fuel gauge and speedometer don't light up!

This is the PARK LAMP fuse . So check this out on the under side of the dash and use a nose plier to pull the fuse out to be replaced by the spare in the box.
If the fuse seems ok, then check the harness, connectors to the dashboard cluster or the lamps within the dash.

okay if the light work then it wont be a fuse, this sounds like a bad connection or bad cluster. remove the cluster and unplug the connectors to it and then reconnect them and start the car and see if they work if not then i would say the cluster went bad, good day.

Have a 98 GMC sonoma and was driving down the road yesterday when all of a sudden all dash lights went out. Checked all the fuses and they were all good. Radio lights go out to, but when i turn the key...

This can be a poor connection at the back of the cluster, pull it out and check all the connection points to make sure they are fully seated to the cluster.

Feul temp oil pressure gauge not working

this problem sounds like a bad ground to your gauges first check your fuses with a test light take the end of light ground on battery with a long wire with alligator clip on end so you can reach around to test second thing take probe tip touch pos of battery to make sure tester lights then test all fuses first both sides most fuses have two little holes one on each side on top to put probe on fuses should light up on both sides some fuses wont light on both unless the ignition is turned to acce or for instant a headlight switch has to be on to test fuse if fuses check out okay you will have to get into the gauge instrument cluster possible if these gauges are pushed into a pin type or flat circuit board its possible loose scews and a good bump would make a bad contact in the cluster
