Check the ground wire that attaches above the emergency brake.

Did you double check the contacts where the harness plugs into the cluster? What about making sure the plug is firmly seated?

A good old fashioned test light with clips usually solves those problems. Trace the circuit, you're no rookie!

If they worked before you may have a leg on the ribbon rolled up and it is not making contact to the plug. The ribbon on one of mine curled up and was not making contact. The layers of the printed circuit had seperated and the metal contacts that I am refering to as the ribbon were all floppy and curled up on me.

(Captian Obvious) Have you tried turning the headlight switch to adjust the dimmer? Mine is sometimes intermittent and needs to be turned slightly to get the cluster lights to come on and stay on.

i got all fixed... put the bulbs in. helps when you plug the harness in.
