I pulled the dash cluster out and replaced the six larger bulbs to light up speedometer ,fuel,charging, temp- checked existing bulbs with meter and they seemed good- the turn signal indicators work,check engine light works brake warning works- general dash lights have never worked in 2 yrs i owned van is there a fuse not in place? what powers the dash cluster -i assume i have power because of turn sig. and such is there a separate power supply built in to the cluster i have gauges for temp,charging,fuel,volts but can't see mph,fuel,volts,charging at night what should i check

If you dont have any dash lights, remove the light switch and use your meter to test through the dimmer part to see if it is getting power in and out.Also use your meter to test all fuses.IF it has some dash lights but not all it could be a bad spot in the printed circuit board on the back of the cluster
