read you hyanes mannual on how to pull the speedo cluster

there should be 2 bulbs that are in there that are burn out.. should be under 6 bucks at any parts store..

all the bulbs in the cluster are the same so you can pretty much pull one out and try a in different location

Yeah 90 yota,the fellow that fixed up this truck changed the speedometer itself so maybe he shorted something out?

oh, well check to see.. if a fuse is burnt out.. first then it will be a dead give away if you got a bigger problem then a just a burn out bulb...

by the way bulbs will burn out more often if they get more amprage then they need..

well your dome light is connected to your door buzzer switch,, will make nosie if your door is open..

pull your dash and just check so see if you just burnt a buld it should take no longer than a hour, taking it all apart...

your bulbs, can be bought at any parts store..
