First of all I would like to thank those who are taking time in reading and/or even possibly helping me fix my problem.

Well here it is. The story is my Cluster was working perfectly then i decided to change the led bulbs in back to all white. I opened it up but Went on vacation for two weeks. Everything was in my car and locked as i took the only pair of keys along with me on the trip. When i came back, i decided to cancel the plan i had in mind so i wanted to put everything back together as normal.

Heres the problem: From left to right on my sc300 1998 auto cluster

Heat Needle: Light is off (It was working when i first put it back together then i noticed the other needles didnt work so i open it up then plug back in wires and now the needle is off)

RPM Needle: Light ON, Works

Speed Needle: Lights off, Havnt test if it works

Gas Needle: Lights off, havnt test if it works

In addition to this, my odometer's back ground light works but the numbers are blank, nothing shows but the lights however, my time and temperature works. Im really worried guys. Can someone please help me?

Once again thanks those who took time in reading this.

Unless you're a magician you haven't changed a 150,000 volt ballast powered transformer and cathode with a few 12 volt led's...... As if there were a place to put them.

When we have the correct facts we can go further.

The facts are that i havnt change anything to the lights. To sum it up, all i did was unplug and pluging it back in and then all this happend.

Looks like 19 screws and two ribbons. Long as you put them all back it should work. These clusters are very touchy, unless you did something and don't know it it should fire back up.

I never said wires. The ribbons do nothing on that unit related to your issue.
