SRT Gauge cluster

slickneon19 · Post by **slickneon19** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:00 am

Ok I am doing the SRT swap in a couple weeks. So I decided to put the cluster in today. Everything works but it wont light up at night. Thats the only thing. Anyone come across this problem or have any answers for me? Thanks guys!

other than the brake light problem the SRT cluster is plug and play, its sounds like the SRT cluster you have has problems...

when i installed mine it was plug and play....make sure its got bulbs in the back of it...check the pin out connector going to the back of the speedo id check bulbs make sure none are burnt, then unplug and check the connector to the speedo

Dunno if you already checked this, but I believe fuse #11 is for the Cluster, might check that.

That can't be! I would have thought that one of the inputs from the wiring harness (that gets connected to the cluster when we install it) is dedicated for the brake light, and it can be routed directly to the brake LED... that it would involve cutting out the positive trace going to the LED and soldering terminal directly to the input trace using a wire.

Only real solution is a full SRT-4 swap.

I guess I lucked out with my PnP setup on my '05 SXT, lol...

Never saw any problems except having one of needles start under the post at the bottom, so I pulled it and spun it around. I never even had the mileage changed at a dealer, just waited until I hit that magic mile...
