    I have a 98' VT Executive Wagon V6 ecotech auto and the light on the cluster wont light up for the Power Button.I have replaced the power button switch and the tiny globe in the cluster,but it is still not lighting up.All parts where bought from holden.Any one know what it might be?I cant seem to find a fuse for the power button anywhere,so i guess it doesn't even have one.Thanks.:bang:

    Have you tried the bulb test function?" hold mode and up buttons then turn ignition to on. release buttons then press mode repeatedly until you get to bulb and buzzer and instrument test

    You have got me stumped, I would suggest you find another cluster and try that.

    Cheers,

    Similar problem here but power does not hold gears
    Is there a fuse or relay to replace?
