Repair Dark and Intermittent Clusters with ease!

This bundle contains all the parts that we replace when a cluster comes into the batee.com shop for a backlight repair.

 

Signs your cluster may need a backlight repair:

  • The four bulbs which illuminate the cluster remain dark, even with the ignition on.

  • When the ignition is on, the cluster remains dark and the info can't be seen

  • The cluster is dark with the headlights off, but works with the headlights on.

  • Sometimes, hitting the dash or hitting a bump causes the cluster to start working properly.

  • Shining a flashlight on the cluster causes the information to appear.

  • The cluster LCD panels are dark, but the turn signal and high beam indicators are on constantly.

  • The cluster works, but the display is very dim.

  • The cruise control won't set.

  • The (auto) transmission won't go into Overdrive.
