You say you checked the bulb, what kind of bulb is it? LED or Incandecent?

I dont know the difference, but it a little bulb and lights a little yellow, I think its a LED, but not sure.... what are the difference?!

REDZMAN

The LED ones are Polarity sensitive. If it's LED and not working, pull it out, and put it in backwards.

if its a stock unit its an incandescent. meaning that if its working properly, it shouldn't matter how its inserted into the cluster.

When you had the cluster out, did you happen to notice any cuts or looseness on the printed circuit sheet?

it could just be a bad contact from there.

hmmm.. now I have to wonder if your alternator is charging. Many alternators need the battery light to come on before they start that intitial charge after starting.

you probably don't have the cluster pushed ALL the way in tightly and screwed down completely, the light that lights up my needle on the water temp gauge stopped working until i removed it and replaced it..that pc board in the back is weird.

i dont know... what can I do.... ??.........
