Assume you used the proper mix of 220 and 22 mf capacitors (some guy on the board recently was going to put in all 220's, but I don't think it was you). Also that you got the polarities right. Also assume you reconnected the little plug between the circuit board and the cluster when you reassembled it. Otherwise, sounds like a power supply failure, and it may be a fuse, so check the two or three fuses in your box which feed the cluster. After that, check for voltage at the plugs which connect to the board, but determine the power feed pin numbers first. They are shown in the Bentley wiring diagrams. If no voltage, you have a power fault between the fusebox and plug. Bob H.
