cluster lights

[vinnie201]

i have a question changing some of my gauge lights to leds (clock, odometer, temp and back lights) however i broke one led contact tab. so i put a stock bulb back in place (odometer)until another led arrives. Now when I go to mount my cluster all of my lights stay on on the left and right sides and my leds wont work or speedometer tachometer engine temp wont work. i checked for frayed wires and fuses and everthing seemed ok. can anyone help??

pull the leds back out and rotate them. there is a positive and a negative side. you have it reversed!

its weird tho becuase i will turn key to see if lights work when dash is loose, and the lights work including leds, then i push cluster in and all hell all breaks loose as described above, i was thinking loose connector and the bigger one does seem a little loose (and i mean barely like i dont know if im being ocd or something). i used electricla parts cleaner and that didnt help. Maybe its the leds?? leds from hell!! is there anything i can do this is a real pain.

ya sounds like the led's are thay loose. try wiggleing them thay should be tight

for some reason my connector wires were funky, it took me about an hour to get them to work correctly and they do but i am never going to take em out again (hopefully)
