430 Dashboard gauge lights not working

Everything else in the car works, and all interior lights… Only the gauge lights aren’t working. I’ll admit, I haven’t driven the car in the dark in over a year, so who knows how long it’s been broken.

I checked the two fuses in the frunk, they’re fine. I’m fearing it’s most likely the light panel itself in the dash. I found a replacement on eBay and ordered it just in case - it wasn’t expensive, and I figure these things are getting harder to find anyway…

So my two questions are:
1. Anyone else have an idea on what to check for?
2. Assuming it’s the light panel itself, anyone have good instructions on removing the dash cluster?

 

Carsten I'll text ya

 

Before you buy on eBay, I'd check the plug once you remove the cluster. They do pop off. So so before you remove the display, unplug the UL panel, then plug it back in and test it with your lights on. It may fix it.

Also, the UL display on the 360 came standard which had a "ring" that illuminated the numbers on the tach, then another made for the CS, which illuminated the entire yellow tach. I'm not sure what options exist for the 430, but make sure that the one you choose is the right one for your application, otherwise it will not look right.
