Default AU11 XR8 Cluster Lights Issue????

Hi All

Is it possiable that all instrument cluster light globes could blow at once.

I have lost all lights even the LCD screen, The only ones working are the warning lights, the clock and the indicators.

BTW the shifter light is not working either. Fuses are all good, what else should I check. Im going to check the globes today.

Any advice appreciated

It is possible, had it happen in mine. I don't know if yours would be the same (mine burnt the circuit board inside the cluster)

Do you still have the a/c buttons or any middle dash ones light up at night?

only if your car was struck by lightning -

recheck fuses with a test light -

do tail lights work/ does tail light relay (inside fuse box) click when turning tail lights on/off ?
possible fault in head light switch -

May be a blown tail light fuse as i think they run of the same fuse could be wrong tho

OK boys, issue sorted. I dont want to go into detail, however I will say that I will be wearing my glasses next time I have to check fuses and leave it that.

Thanks for the replies
