how do you take those bulbs out? I've torn my cluster apart multiple times and i have not found where those lights are. Maybe i didn't tear it apart far enough?

be like it is
if the car drives fine, figure out the CEL first before ripping into the cluster.

jumper that sumbitch with a paper clip, find the sticky for CELs on this forum.

I can't remember, are those bulbs soldered onto the circuit board or are they in the holder that twists out. It's been a while since I messed with mine.

But yeah definitely do the paper clip method and check your cel first.

Okay I read it was 87 but there is no 87 so it must be 86 then, maybe my dumb eyes are not reading it correctly. so 86 is "86 ECT Sensor (Engine Coolant Temperature) circuit range / performance problem." so I take it its a sensor just going off.

alright took it to the shop came up with the CEL code that i found, and asked around a little more, I came to the conclusion that the light is just out and the probably have to change the sensor.....
