Dashboard lights

My lights from the clock/rpm gauge dont work when I turn my key to ignition, however the rest of the lights work fine.

Is this normal ?

the instruments that can be replaced when you have the cluster out. My tii has a clock (of course) but I've never had to deal with it, yet.

I cannot recall if there is a fuse responsible for cluster lighting.

I feel your pain!~I just spent a LOT of time chasing electrical gremlins on my "new" car. It obviously spent a lot of time outside as a neglected car. My headlights, taillights, instrument lights, horn, etc were all non functioning, or sporadically functioning. We started at the fuse panel, took everything apart, removed the color coded paper and lightly sandblasted (very carefully!) the connectors, cleaned and blew it dry. It seems mice had been living in the fenders in the hollow area under the fuse panel and had chewed several inches of insulation off of several wires. There were loose or disconnected wires at the instruments themselves, and we rebuilt the tail light units. Still intermittent tail lights. It seems the light switch itself at the dash had a wire for the tail light, that was broken down to a single filament, which finally broke. All is working now, days later! It was a slow process of checking, cleaning, replacing wires and making new connections everywhere but ultimately, with good results. The process cannot be sidestepped as at least for me, it's always the 5th and last thing I try that ended up being the winner. Good luck

Found it, seems LED 'bulbs' dont work in that part of the Instrument..., the rest of it works fine on LEDS

Thank goodness -- or should I say, paradise ... by the dashboard lights.
