Faded guage cluster
Hey guys, my '95 has an issue with its cluster, most of it looks good when lit up but on the right hand side of it, it fades and darkens, anybody have any experience with this? Is there a fix besides LED? Thanks

You can get rid of the fading by simply replacing the old bulbs in the cluster.

Yep. There are only a few bulbs that illuminate the cluster - one is burnt out. Replace it and done.

Instructions on how to take the cluster out can be found in my temp gauge linearization write-up.
