Ok, so i've searched around the forums to no avail.

i recently replaced some bulbs in the instrument cluster... was glad when the stuff lighted back up when I stuffed everything back. BUT... I noticed the LCD panel for the odometer is fubar. It's not lighting up. I have a sneaking suspicion isn't not another light bulb... but the LCD panel itself. Has anyone had success resolving this issue in the past?

Or... do I just have to get a new cluster meow?

WTF, meow? The LCD has nothing to do with being backlight by a bulb. You most likely did someting.

Do you know how fast you were going back meow?

LCDs don't emit light on their own. There's bulbs or LEDs behind them.

allright meow... last thing before I go out and plop down some $$ for a replacement cluster:

anyone know which wire/pin in the back connectors feeds the odometer? (yeah yeah I'm a cheap bastard... don't own a repair manual... yet)

fyi I already looked at 1.8T's page. it's for 97+, and the wiring definitely doesn't correspond to my cluster (unless I'm retarded... which is a 50/50 thing these days).

thanks in advance for any help.

the LCD is actually working. it's just super super dim. i just went outside and took a close look at it, and there, voila, the numbers light up.

bah. wat to do... wat to do...
