I own the car listed above SI model. Three of the bulbs for the gauge cluster are not illuminating. I replaced the bulbs with new bulbs but this did not work. I even swapped working bulbs from another socket in the cluster and still not lighting up. It's the the sockets in the center above the speedometer and half the tachometer.

Take a look at the wiring diagram. Unfortunately it looks like the dash lighting is controlled by the circuit board on the cluster. So more than likely there is a part of the actual circuity in the cluster that has failed. It appears the only fix for this is to replace the cluster.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks
