2003 vw caddy pickup instrument cluster question

Post by ManieNortje »

Hi there. The led lights for the turning signals as well as fuel and temp not working but the rest do work. Took the cluster out and confirmed that it is the newer led soldered tipes. Can all be faulty and can the cluster be tested to confirm?

There is a 12v to 5v voltage regulator on the back and that has most likely retired. Check also the copper tracks on the plastic filament for any cracked tracks or burnt tracks.
