NEED HELP ASAP.... gauge cluster wont light up

[repda916]

my gauge cluster dosent light up. only when i press down on the brakes.
i dont know what fuse to look at. need help cant see how fast im going.

[AznDrftr.]

so it comes on only when pressing brake?

seems like something is lose, either that or you should check your fuse, should be underneath the drivers side

[repda916]

was the fuse. replaced it and it worked. then coming home tonight went out again. idk whats going on

my friend with an S14 just had this problem, i think someone said check the back up switch but idk.

My guess is something on the brake lights, check all the grounds for the tail lights and make sure theyre all good. Also check for frayed positive wires back there...

I beleive your light timer box(I think its what its called). take it out and check for any blown circuits, and try a good one.

[dkwasherexd]

take out your cluster and check the connections, its probably loose

hey man, i had some problems like this too, guage lights and tail running lights wernt workin... check ur fuse box right by ur clutch pedal and see whats goin on in there.. my problem ended up being rubbin through my wire harness ( under driver side fender ) and my fender signals were shorting out.

i dunno if this helps, but one can use as much advice armor when battling electrical gremlins..

i fixed the proibelm. when i told my buddy to put in my tail light bulbs. you have to put them in the right direction. thats what kept blowing fuses.
