    My instrument cluster lights don't work. I have installed new light switch and cleaned the circuit board but the lights still don't work. Any suggestions?

    I'd suggest fuse but that's too easy...

    Does the auto shift quadrant and or ashtray lamp work??? If not you likely have a loss of power from the fuse panel... If so you probably have a PCB issue...

    I had this problem with my first maverick, The fuse was good,but the circut board had a small burn out spot that needed soidored together.
