What's up guys. So I'm having an issue with my guage cluster... I replaced some of the bulbs due them being out... The needle lights have been out in 2 different clusters. I bought an SC400 cluster for cheap with 170k miles. Still no needle lights... Anyone ever had this issue?

lol...I doubt there are any sc's out there with the original needle bulbs in working order

 

^^^ Um both my 95 and 97 have original needle bulbs working just fine.

 

Well, aren't you a lucky one.

 

lextech.org rebuilds them and they are amazing check them out

 

Which year is your cluster that you want to rebuild? Which year is the cluster from the 400? different year needles dont work on different year clusters (92-94 and 95-96 are not interchangeable unless you put the swap the cluster as a whole).

 

It was a 93 SC400 cluster. my SC is a 92. It was pretty epic, actually... redline with the 400 gauge was 8.8k RPM... Thought about swapping the tachs... lol, the speedo was entirely too off, though... so I just basically put all my bulbs back in the 300, and fiddled with it and got it to work. I need to know what capacitors to replace... I am able to do circuit board work... I just don't know what to replace and HONESTLY don't have the spare change to pay someone to rebuild it.

 

hey O.L.T. has anyone ever thought about having an electrical section on the SC forum? like Suspension and Brakes, Performance & Maintenance, Electrical?
