All other lights work but I can not read my odometer or see what gear I am in, is their a simple solution? Such as a fuse? If so where located?
Is there l LED BULB? Or is it the cluster alone and only, trying to avoid that cluster due to price!

If a bulb, how do you access the dashboard? As a matter of fact how do you accress, remove the panel for repair?

What is the simplist solution, I have the owners manuel but it's l;ike a read of duh to me as I can see what fuse, (if the problem) that controls this

It sounds like the cluster has gone out here is a video that shows the repari in a similar car. The thing to do is first look for the fuse labeled illumination, if the fuse is ok, then you will need to undo all of the screws around the bezel(display)once you remove that, you will have the cluster exposed, then you have to undo all of the screws surrounding the cluster which will release it. Remember do undo the negative battery cable first before doing anything electrical like this. Proceed to gently pull the cluster out, and behind the cluster make sure the plug is in correctly. Once that is established, you can access all the bulbs.
