Odometer not backlit
 
Ok , I know this is a small thing, but the wife wants it fixed. I no longer have illumination for my odometer or the cruise control "on" light. the rest of the dash light are ok.

Can someone point me in the right direction. A schematic would be Great !

Oh yeah,
1999 SL2

Maybe there is just a simple thing .... like 2 bulbs burned out ?

Chilton Manual for S-Series cars. Section 12, page 12-36 for the cruise control circuitry, and 12-47 for the instrument cluster lighting .....

I guess I am going to have to get one of those

update
 
Well ......... the back light for my odometer is now working again.
I did have to remove the instument cluster completely from the dash.
Did you know that little bugger doesn't want to come out through the opening, even after tilting the steering wheel all the way down? But I made him ! (yes without breaking it).
Next time I think I can do it in about 20 minutes ( 30 this time)

please tell me you replaced the whole lot in the cluster while in there....

well................................ no !
I got lazy and only had a couple of bulbs.
It is 45 miles to the auto parts store, I didn't want to go that far.
