I pulled the cluster on my 03 GTP today to replace what I thought would be a couple blown bulbs on left side of the cluster but… When I put the new ones in they wouldn’t work… I then swapped them with the right side working bulbs and still a no go??? What could it be?
 


Im having the same problem, glad to see im not the only one. SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS!!!!
 
i dont have a clue but since so many ppl have viewed and no one helped i'll offer suggestions. are you sure you have power going to those light sockets?

No I'm not sure if there's power there or not. I was kind of in a rush last night and didn't have time to dig out my light tester.
 
Pull the cluster again.. Pull the circuite board out and look at all solder points. Check for non clean points (dry solder points).. If you see bad ones, heat with soldeirng iron, add fresh solder and test.

Will Do, thanks! Any tip or pointers on removing the circuit board?
 
once you pull the cluster.. there should be tabes holding it together.. perhaps some screws.. take it slowly and it will easliy come apart once cluster is out.
 
The circuit board? Its not like the DIC where its a hard plactic piece with soldering points. The instrument cluster is a flexible piece with foil tracers and no soldering points.
 


i've personaly never pulled out a GP board, but I have pulled out many clusters due to something not working and most had an issue with soldering points.. If there is no points, look for breaks.
