Bad cluster

[241steve]

Gday notice a few lights aren't working on my dash whats the done thing about getting the dash fixed?
where should the check engine light be?
2007 sr 1GR-FE
If the answer is all ready her I couldn't find it with the search.
thanks for you help.

2007 you say? Looks like something out of the 60s or 70s.
Anyway, I digress.
Not ALL models have ALL dash lights.
You could try throwing the keys down the paddock and getting a few mates around for a beer or 10, then you might get them to Look, lear, peer, squint or whatever to see what they can see on your dash. Even more fun at night. Maybe even make a drinking game out of it?
Maybe you might even check the dash light globes and see what you can find?

what are you talking about Rob?

Maybe you might even check the dash light globes

It has leds soldiered onto a printed circuit board for the lights.
What a helpfull load of rubbish you wrote.

Keep the conversation decent please.

Yes its an 07 cluster. I havent seen them fail to cant advise on how to fix but there are plenty available on ebay. you might get lucky and get one with low kms.

apologies for being a dick sarcasm is lost on the written word.
trying to decide weather to get another from a wrecker or trying to get mine fixed ?
can an electronics git if i can find on change the leds or is it more likely something else on the board?
Was wondering if anyone else has fixed one or were to take it.

[hiluxxury]

No worries. There have been problems with the boards, I think the fuel gauge or something - have a search here. Anyhow, point is the board can be cheaply fixed and by people with the skills. Just a matter of finding those people.

Why do you assume it it the cluster at fault, something has to turn the led on and whatever that is, probably the ecm, will have wiring in between. All 3 components of the circuit have to be checked before throwing parts at it.

[241steve]

I have had the plug off the ecu and earthed the pin for the check engine light which didn't bring the light on as expected, I haven't checked the wiring from the cluster to the ecu yet but will and assume it will be good.
The led that lights the odometer doesn't work either. Ill update this when i pull the cluster out next time.
I think its the cluster because someone has had it apart before me as the cover come off it as soon as I took it out it wasn't together properly from the last bloke.
