Digital Cluster Out!
Has anyone had their digital cluster (speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge) go dark on them? It has just happened to me on my '96 Fleetwood. I took the cluster apart, but it isn't built like the Caprice cluster, the displays are soldered directly to the circuit board. Therefore, the contacts are not an issue. I'm hoping someone knows.

Did you check fuses?
Possibly an illumination problem with your dimmer switch for interior lights? On other caddy forums I go to that is a problem with other year caddys that the display will just go out completely. People dont report back their solutions of course but many suggest checking fuses.

Checked all the power fuses for the cluster. Its not the dimmer, either, as those illumination bulbs light up. My next step will be to pull the cluster (again; at least it's pretty simple to do) and make sure I'm getting power at the pins I should. If that doesn't work, the cluster is headed to United Radio for a rebuild.

If 93-96 clusters are the same, I have a 93 cluster for sale.

Just as a follow-up, I sent my cluster off to United Radio. They diagnosed it as a bad power supply and also swapped out 2 transistors and a capacitor. It now works perfectly again!
