They are not serviceable unless you send them to the electronic service center, they rebuild the cluster and sell them as re-manufactured units.

You can replace the bulbs if you have some soldering skills, but you'll have to dis-assemble the entire thing. Most clusters are using LEDs for illumination and it is rare to see one burned out.

I do agree it is silly to not have the bulbs serviced but I think the idea is that LEDs almost never burn out. I cannot remember the last time I had a cluster with a burned out bulb.

You might be lucky that the bulbs are not burnt out and the connection may just be loose from a cold solder from the bulb heating up through out its life. Giving the board a light tap to where the bulb is may get it to start working again.


Good luck and keep us posted.
