now i haven't pulled one out and had a good look,do they have bulbs?(silly question i know) could it be the circuit board causing your problem?

The trip computer has 4 globes in it. Take the 3 screws out and flip the white pannel with the LCD's in it over. You have 4 black plastic globe holders that twist out with a flat blade screw driver. Your cluster that worked ok will have 4 good globes in it. Holdens charge about $16.00 each. Jcar sells the globe bit only for about $2.00 each.

If your original trip computer globes worked just swap them over and be a bit gental as the globes can stop working with the smallest of bumps.

OK the globes in the "other" cluster are dead. Or when you put your cluster back in and now the trip computer is dark - no lights.

Take cluster out and re fit.

Basicly removed my cluster,fitted the other then refitted my and had the light prob.

what he's sayin is take the globes from you old cluster and put in the new one see if that fixes it..

I'd guess that there is a plug not making good contact or the new cluster did not like its new home and fried something.
