Angry Dash Light headache

Thanks to all of you who offered advice on my headlight motor problems which are fixed now.. Now i have a new problem that i cant quite figure out either.. The cluster lights never worked when i got the car, so i replaced the bulbs, and they still dont work.. Then i replaced the whole cluster... still nothing.. I went out and turned them on the other night and they came on, even the gear indicator lit up which was a first for me.. well, i turned it off, and turned it back on, and nothing again.. ive replaced all the fuses, and still nothing.. Bad ground perhaps?.. Bad illumination wire?.. i really have no idea... has this happened to anyone else??

Sounds like you might have a loose wire or a short somewhere.

Glad to hear you got it fixed. I hate trying to trace down a wire short. Never a fun or easy job.
