Default Instrument cluster lighting
Hey Everyone,
A few months ago the back lighting on my instrument cluster went out. so at night I can't see how fast I'm going. Thankfully I have a GPS that mounts to my windshield that will tell me and because of it I have kinda put it off. I cant figure out what the problem could be. I have checked the fuses and took apart the knob and took instrument cluster itself out of the dash and I can't see anything wrong.
Any ideas?

By the way its a 2004 Mustang 3.8 V6
Thanks

Is it just the gauge cluster or is it the buttons and a/c too?
