If so you probably have a bad ground in the cluster somewhere, likely a burned circuit.

This is how I found a bad ground in my cluster that was keeping the GP light from comming on.

as a matter of fact I did notice the GP light stopped working too..... sounds like you might be on to something.. can I just run a ground to the metal and be done if that works?
