Aura gauge needles not lighting
So an FYI for people with this car. My needles weren't illuminating though everything else was working. I read it's usually a circuit board and not a simple bulb replacement thing and repair services charge what I paid for a brand new remanufactured one. I wasnt willing to buy a used one and go through all that crap (though it was a quick swap) only to have it break 2 weeks later. I changed out my broken turn signal switch at the same time. Only caveat was new unit was for a hybrid, the speedometer goes up to 220 and yes it's mph (I think they did this this so if it was km you could change it on the menu). Mine was already set to mph so it's accurate though the needle moves much less Lastly the temp gauge was replaced with a volt meter and it works! The bcm recognized it wasnt a temp gauge and went right to the middle. Whole unit was plug and play. Odometer works etc.etc. It made for an interesting if not conventional swap. Some have done the Malibu gauge swap but I like the all orange to match everything else.
