Description - RHD
The Instrument Cluster has provisions for up to 25 indicators and houses either 3 or 4 analog gauges, for more information on gauges. Refer to GAUGE PACK, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, DESCRIPTION . Some of the indicators are automatically configured when the instrument cluster is connected to the vehicle electrical system for compatibility with certain optional equipment or equipment required for regulatory purposes in certain markets.

Each indicator, except those located within a Vacuum-Florescent Display (VFD) unit, is illuminated by a dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is soldered onto the instrument cluster's electronic circuit board. Dodge base cluster illumination is accomplished by several dimmable LED units, which illuminate each of the gauge dial faces for visibility when the exterior lighting is turned ON. These LED units are not available for service replacement and, if damaged or ineffective, the entire instrument cluster must be replaced. Dodge premium and Chrysler cluster illumination is accomplished by a dimmable electro-luminescent lamp, which illuminates each of the gauges for visibility when the exterior lighting is turned ON. The Dodge premium cluster lighting is white in color, while the Chrysler cluster lighting is blue-green in color. The electro-luminescent lamp units are not available for service replacement and, if damaged or inoperative, the entire instrument cluster must be replaced.
