I recently bought a 98 F150 and had to replace about 4 of the bulbs in the instrument cluster. After replacing them i plugged the wiring harness's into the cluster and noticed that none of the gauges work. The lights that i replaced worked and it seems that all of the warning lights also work. Is there a fuse that would only effect the gages themselves or could it possibly be the circuit board inside the instrument cluster itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanx

Sorry this isn't an answer to you question, But i have a 98 xlt with some bulbs out in the instrument cluster and I was debating whether or not I am goin to replace them, other than the gauges being screwed up did you run into any problems?

Actually i was a total noob. The process isn;t very hard just kinda keep in mind what goes where. The bulbs are kind screw locked into the back of the cluster so i used a pair of pliers and very carefully turned the bulb holder. Over all it was a fairly easy process.

BTW...when i pulled my gauge cluster out i accidently pulled the ribbon that carries the signal to the circuit board out of its clip. So i put said ribbon cable back into said clip and it worked......WOO-FREAKIN-HOO!!!
