cluster light dont work

[integar94]

Ok check this out, i had a cx cluster on my hatch and only the e-brake, trunk light, cel, battery light work. Everything esle is darkness. Cant see nething when driving at night. Than i replace it with a ex cluster and same thing still happen. Than a new problem occur. The temp gauge is reading maximum hot and i didnt ever start the car yet. My intrumental light fuse is not blown btw. Any1 had this similar problem

^ amen ... theres a short somewhere behind the cluster or maybe in the radio din /.

alrite thanks rep but can u explain why the temp is reading like that, do i gotta play around with that needle

[1SOL2NV]

a loose ground or a faulty power wire touching a ground will make the needle read hot ./ does the car do it with the key out of the car and it not turned on ? if it doesn't then its more then likely a ground .

like they said a ground and also possibly as far as no lights in bezzle it could need a replacment dimmer switch on the left of you stirring wheel on dash. just pop out and plug in new one.

o snap when i pop the dimmer switch out, two wire with no insulator are rubbing on each other, guess i found my problem thanks ia
