Has anyone here ever changed the bulbs from the instrumental panels that are behind the Guages. I changed all 8 thinking the bulbs were out but that's not the problem, my car's running fine i just don't have cluster lights, the guages all work except for the tachometer. Any suggestions anyone! Thanks People!

Try tapping on the dimmer **** with your fingers, that gets mine back on when they act up now and then.

they have an updated harness with extra grounds, the harness melts and takes the switch with it, sometimes

But doesn't that same switch control the headlights and the rear lights as well, and they are both working fine. Shouldn't they all be messed up if the switch is bad?
