dim fuel gauge
on my dash cluster all the lights are fine and have a solid amount of brightness all the way thorugh, except for my fuel gauge. this just happened today as i noticed my fuel guage was much dimmer than all the other gauges. i disconeected the battery and checked my fuses....just to check if that had to do anything with it, and it did nothing. so my question is what the hell happened and how do i go about fixing this.

RE: dim fuel gauge
I have the exact same problem mmstar. The fuel gauge is dimmer than everything else, it has been that way for a couple months now, but I just assumed it was a burnt out light. I haven’t really wanted to take the whole panel apart so I just left it alone. I was planning to replace all of them in the instrument panel with LED's. But yeah, I don't know if it is just burnt out, or if there is something else wrong with it.

RE: dim fuel gauge
looks like another project to find out this weekend along with wiring up strobes and getting new tires. last i remembered it was hard to get to the actual bulb, but i didnt try hard, so maybe some serious investigation will get me inside the cluster and ill be able to find my problem.
