I just bought a 94 Camaro, and the bulbs on the gauge cluster don't work. So I tried replacing them and they still didn't work. I put the dimmer switch all the way up, and I tried replacing the fuse, and they still don't work. Can anyone help me?

Would reverse glow gauges do the trick?

it might be the motherboard itself in the cluster that died. new cluster would fix that. also could be a bad ground to the cluster or a bad switch for the dimmer/dome light. does the dome light turn on if you turn it all the way up?

The dome light does turn on when I put the dimmer switch all the way up. The service engine light works, as well as the brake and others that turn on with the car.

Do the other bulbs (like on the HVAC panel) work and dim when you move the dimmer switch?

JaxJags

They don't work either.

You may have a bad dimmer switch. "All the way up" is a separate function vs. the dimmer wheel.

You should be able to jump some wires at the switch to confirm if the switch module is at fault.

Alright. I'll try that. Thanks

Jumped the two outside wires, and it now works. Thanks wssix99.
