Dash lights don't work

k, we've ruled out the switch,

fuse needs checked

I won't have a chance to work on the car until Sunday or Monday (after my Vtec solenoid comes in). But I will update this post as I try all the mentioned problems.

Oh, on the fuse, not only make visual, but also check power.

You're checking power to, from, & through the fuse.

The fuse was good, but I changed it anyway. I need to get a multimeter to check power now. And figure out how to use one since I never have lol.

If you have never used a multimeter before, you may find a test light easier to use.

That's what I am going to do. Thanks for the help

Are there any specific wires I need to test in the cluster?

The cluster itself would honestly be the least of my worries. I'd check both poles of the fuses that xci mentioned. I've had fuses fail without burning up on me before.

IDK the wire color, but if you want to test there...

It is a printed circuit, so follow the ones to the lights. One heads to ground (mostly black) one heads to power (mostly not-black)

Power without the fuse in was 11V, same as with it in. I also measured it at the harness connectors.

From L-R - 0, 0, 2, 11, 11

From L-R - 5.5, 0, 0, 0, 0.75, 5, 5, 0

Does this help figure things out any?
