Help! Within days of reinstalling instrument cluster after replacing 7 of the 11 bulbs. Replaced with incandescent. No other issues noticed.

Same thing happened to me when I replaced my bulbs. You need to take the cluster back out n open it to put the needle on the top side of the pin.

Appreciate the response. Have not had a chance to mess with it yet, but should get to it tomorrow. I didn't have the cluster apart, so I'm not sure how it got that way and I swear it was working fine for at least part of the day after reinstalling. Not going to torture myself trying to figure it out, have replacement climate control bulbs to tackle along with this issue anyway.

Had CEL and other warning lights on since I bought the truck and lately every step closer I get to returning everything to proper working order is immediately followed by a new or strange issue.

It may have jumped over from being moved around.

Finally got around to messing with it on Sunday. Pulled out cluster and let gravity do the work. Success.
