[QUOTE="99Venom, post: 15881610, member: 21985"] The latest and greatest update - the A-INVERT-05 works! After trying multiple things with no lights, I found someone local that fixes gauge clusters and can diagnose and repair circuit boards. Through some deep digging he found a bad resistor on my circuit board directly before the power plug for the inverter. Just so you know, the resistor hadn't completely failed, it just had a small voltage disruption and apparently it was enough to kill my back lighting. I had a spare working cluster so he de-soldered the same resistor on that board and soldered it onto mine and viola - it worked. This with the dimmer switch cut off of the Speedhut inverter. Hopefully this helps some people out. This guy is local to me, but you could always ship him your cluster. He was fast, easy to work with, and not expensive at all. He specializes in GM but after I sent him a few pics and he researched it a little, he had no problem diagnosing my issue. Also, if my board turned out to be not repairable, he can transfer mileage and PATS over to a used cluster as well, so either way you can get your lights back. His name is Bill, he saved my ass: [URL]http://www.mainerepair.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
