1984-1989 Corvette Instrument Panel Backlighting Repair Bundle
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.
