Light on the left side of the speedometer is dimmer than the right... and rest of the dash. Checked the fuses and they're good soooo probably a light is out... right? Pictures to come soon. |

Yeah, sounds like a bulb burned out. Gonna have to pull the cluster to replace it. |

There are 2 types of bulbs in the instrument cluster and both are replaceable 1) LED bulbs for specific on/off lights such as CEL and 2) regular incandescent general cluster back lights. When one of the latter dies then that portion of the cluster appears dim as it's only being light by "scatter" from the remaining incandescent bulbs. You will need to remove the cluster to replace the bad bulb and I'd suggest doing all of them while you are in there. I have cluster removal instructions with pics for an 04 which probably are fine for 05/06 if you email me I can provide a copy. |
