Default New LED dash needles on '92 SC300

I just replaced my 4 needles and thought everything went well with the soldering. But when I plugged everything in, now all four no longer light up. They don't even move now. I replaced the 10A fuse for the gauges, but still nothing.

While I had the cluster out, I removed the back panel, planning to upgrade the dash bulbs with LEDs, but had the wrong size. Maybe one of the 3 ribbons didn't seat correctly. Am at a loss. Plus, now don't have all the original dash lights operating, on the right side.

I'll take the needles off again and test with a 9V battery. Something I know I should have done, in the first place.

Thanks in advance for any leads.

Welcome to the forum !

I would suggest to read the stickied thread on the main page , it may lead you to answers to many of your questions. Many newbies tend to post or start a thread about issues or problems without doing research. A lot of things have already been covered when it comes to the Lexus SC300 and SC400.

Please do read the following :

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...tart-here.html


btw , help wanted thread goes to the Performance and Maintenance Section if truly you need to start a thread . Since you are new to the forum, I would move this for now instead of deleting it.

Good Luck .
