Default Cluster help

I pulled my cluster today (91 S2 cab late airbag dash) because of dim lighting and was planning on doing the fix for the reflective material however I noticed that only one of the lights were lighting altogether. bulbs were changed last year so I am doubting that they are burned.

Does anyone know what pins on which of the 3 connectors I can apply some current to in order to see if the 3 bulbs will light up?

thanks

Sorry I don't know the answer. But I can tell you that I replaced my cluster with one from Arizona Auto (a salvage yard that's a sponsor here) when I got the car.

I sent the replacement directly to North Hollywood Speedometer who worked their magic (blue LED backlighting, white faces, numbers on the temp gauge, new dayglo orange needles, etc) and even properly set the odo to match my original cluster.

It was a bit expensive (about $700 ) but I love how it turned out !

For the pins, you want to use a 9V battery and connect to the far right 2 pins on the conector behing the oil and battery gauge. The first pin on the right will be positive and the pin next to it on the left will be negative.
