I have been trying to diagnose this issue. My dashboard (speedometer, gauges etc). Do not light up. I have replaced the fuse three times. I even tried cleaning the actual fuse socket. It will work temporarily but it just is not staying lit. When I put in a new fuse, I actually feel and hear the volts moving thru the fuse. It will work temporarily and then the next time I start the car it will not light up. I am completely stumped. Please advise. Thanks.

Is this an LCD screen. can you upload a picture of the cluster? If it is an LCD the cluster itself will be to be built. This video will show you what you are in for when doing the job.

Also, is the fuse blown when you replaced it?

Please let us know.
