Every once in a while, my dash lights on the right side of the dash go off. When it does the right turn signal indicator comes on... sometimes its like this for 2 mins, sometimes for 20. Its obvious the power that feeds the lights is being redirected to the signal indicator. I am quessing a light bulb socket that feeds the dash lights is not in correct and sometimes touches the turn signal indicator circut. Has anyone ever had this issue.

ok.... I got the cluster off (much easier than i though in 5mins or so) and partily taken apart.... I pulled all the bulbs out, every thing looks really clean. I cant figure out how to get this thing apart. I have slid the 2 clips that hold the rear plastic, the board and the front plastic/lenses together. Ive almost got the front off, but something is holding it together on the top in the middle. The back plastic is what Im really tring to get off but I have no idea how it comes off, I pulled the 5 bulbs out that go though it, Im thinking that the ears on the 3 pigtails have to be pushed in all at the same time.

Any pointers?

ok... got the lenses off.... screwdriver thought the back and pushed the tab up

I can tell there at least 4 screws that hold the white plastic (middle) to the rear, I got the bottom 2 out. I have NO idea how to get to the upper 2

Once your got the dash out, If your trying to figure out how to get the rear pastic separated from the middle white part. All you have to do is unplug it by sliding these two prongs out.
