As long as there is not a short or something like that, you should be able to swap the illumination control units with each other to verify whether the problem is with it or something else.

Re: Gauge Backlight Isn't Working and Parking Light
Thank you very much Josh! I'm going to do this today.
Anyone have any ideas on where to get the instrument bulbs? I went to Advance Auto and they want $5 for two! I need the whole set. I wonder if I can get them cheaper from Subaru?

Re: Gauge Backlight Isn't Working and Parking Light
man I know this is old but I'm going to try.. by mistake I had two wires short together for the gauge cluster bulbs.. ok got some smoke because it was from one of the traces on the back.. Before you say oh no.. I bypassed the bad trace and I checked a few times and everything works, (tested in house) So.. I go in the car and just only the left side light sup fuel & speedo.. the tach and temp are both off, also I can't adjust the brightness on the whole dash.
Re: Gauge Backlight Isn't Working and Parking Light
It's possible the bulbs got burnt out or the flexible conducter on the back of the combination meter got fried.

Re: Gauge Backlight Isn't Working and Parking Light
in the end I fried the light control so I can't dim the lights with the stalk
