any suggestions? (I searched the forums and didn't see this problem)
I would suggest checking all the fuses associated with the cluster lighting to make sure they are not blown. I would also take each one out, and use electronic contact cleaner to insure that they are all making contact. When I first got my car from the prior owner, a number of bulbs in the cluster and gear shift area were blown, but it did not affect any of the nearby bulbs that were still lit.
