Half dash lights not working

[Kcd24]

Recently I ran into a situation where a number of bulbs in my dash mysteriously stopped working. I pulled the dash, replaced the lights with LED and now half of the dash does not work. No lights on the Tach side come on, half the Speedo lights come on, the HVAC lights work as do the actual headlight switch itself. Also, the air bag light and antilock brake lights are always on.

I’m at a loss and being an “Imperial Edition” I’m tired of pulling the fake wood grain crap off the dash when I pull it apart.

any help would be appreciated.

Lol it's ok. Whenever you'll pulled out the cluster was there any damage on the cluster or pins in the back? Corrosion

Doesn’t appear to be. All looked to be in pretty good shape.

Were they working before the LEDs?

previously it was just random bulbs. Once the LED’s were installed it’s now 1/2 the dash.

I'm just throwing it out there . I wonder if there's a bad connection between the LEDs and cluster

I know LEDs can play some electrical tricks
