Hi,
Both my RPM needle and my speed needle in the cluster stopped working, I think it's kind a wired that both light will fault at the same time?

Maybe one of you encountered this problem and know how to fix it?

Hi,


I often repair VW clusters where some of the backlight led are faulty; internal wire or contact seems loose because pressing or ticking makes them light up again.
Depending on what type or model of cluster you have it is normal that at least 2 leds are connected in series, so if 1 led fails then both RPM and KMH pointers become dark.

If you're up to it, or have a skilled friend, its possible to open the cluster and replace one or more faulty leds.
