[SOLVED]Dash backlights and Odometer not working

[Stingray4]

Hi all,
After doing a manual conversion and a bunch of other work on my 96 galant vr4 the dash backlights and the odometer have stopped working.
All needles light up as they should, dimmer switch works on the needles, 10A fuse under dash is good, and have replaced the 100A main fuse in engine bay just as a precautionary measure.

I have the cluster from the donor car and the original auto one which both have the same issue, so unlikely that its an internal cluster issue.

Anyone come across this before or have recommendations on what to look at?


SOLVED - Upon testing of all fuse continuity, everything passed, but after pulling and replacing 10A interior light fuse in engine bay fuse box everything is working as it should. putting it down to a bad connection or not adequatly seated in holster.

Which cluster do you have?
High contrast or standard?

Just a thought while im out and about, sounds like the illumination.

Is the reostat plugged in? Part of the black surround.

I will pull the surround off tomorrow and have a look, not sure what the reostat is. Like the dimmer switch roller?

Yep, dimmer thing

Yeah thats plugged in because the dimmer is working on the needle lights
