I have a 99 sc300 and as i was driving the cluster just went black, everything works as it should the only illumination i get is from the turn signals everything else black. I get illumination through the radio and climate control and the dimmer switch still functions correctly.

I tried banging on the dash and no such luck. i checked every fuse in the drivers kick panel box also under the hood and none blown and have continuity through each as i should.


So is there a common fuse or ground i should be looking for to diagnose this problem also does anyone know where i should be getting power to the connectors in back of the cluster to deem the cluster itself is where my problem lies.

If anyone has a interior or gauge cluster wiring schematic id help me greatly as im stuck untill i can dig up some more information on this circuit.

thanks in advanced,
brian

 

any ideas?

 

is your car lowered by chance? if so, its prolly your harness in the wheel well.

if your not lowered... no idea. do you have a aftermarket headunit in?

 

try unplugging the negative cable for a couple minutes and then plugging it back, if youve checked your fuses.
