I've never messed with the cluster, so I can't help you. It's 1:14 AM where im at so... my guess is "normal people" are asleep so you'll prob have to wait a few hours till they wake up. lol just messing with ya. Wish ya luck.

i will deffinatly do that, but just to give to an idea, i have every bulb red and everything that is trasparent red, the blue does not matter.

Any ideas anyone

Best help I can offer is to triple check your connections. Un plug and replug if you can. Maybe even try to reset your pcm as stupid as that sounds. (I know the cluster and PCM are picky if things arn't connected 110%. nobus issue) Im going out on a limb here because i've never messed with the cluster, but it seems that no one else is around to give ya a hand.
