Default Instrument panel/cluster issues

Dear Members,

I own a 1998 A4 quattro.
I have the following issue:

-my instrument panel is dark (no lights no gauges working) with the exception of constant brake and seat belt lights on.
When I use lights (parking, low/high beam and blinkers) the corresponding lights work.
I checked the fuses.


Has anybody had this problem?
do you know how to fix it?
Can you post instructions on how to do it as well as parts needed?
Your help is highly appreciated

Thanks
Bruce

Default Try pulling and unplugging the cluster

Otherwise, remove it and send it to BBA. I may have a spare.

Joey,

thank you for your help.
Before I send it I want to make sure it is the problem.
I noticed that one of the three fuses doesn't get power, which makes me think that the problem is before the cluster itself.
