Question speedometer Lights

I have a 2001 dodge caravan and my speedometer Lights are out on the dash board, but speedometer gauges works well, I change speedometer but did not fix the problem so any one know what can be? a fuse or something ells maybe some one know where that fuse is if there is one for it?

And it was like lights gone after 3 weeks begin to work for only 1 week and that it gone again
I don't have cars manual.

Sorry for bad English.

Are you talking about the back lites on the cluster?? Maybe you have a bulb that is burnt out. Or a bad circuit board.

looks like pin 1 in the cluster is the pwer for dash lites i asume yall mean so you can read the speedo in the dark lites. and that wire is org/yel and goes to the bcm driver so it could be the wire or bcm or something along them lines

Default speed o meter lights

there is a circuit board behind the lens that also has many light recepticles on it . a PC74 is the bulb number you will need there is a section of plastic right in front of the steering wheel and it comes off by lifting up firmly , there are four screws that will allow you to remove the cowl over top of the lens and then you must disconnect the battery to avoid setting the air bag off, once you remove the cowl you must also lower the steering wheel to it lowest position, you can work the cluster out with out disconnecting the harness if you are careful, with the board up side down you can remove the bad bulbs and replace the ones that are burnt out. I use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove and in stall but you must watch how much you squeeze becauser you can damage the bulb iof you go to far . I recommend a magnetic phillips screw driver as some of the screws are apt to fall in to the dash . just reinstall it in reverse order
