s14 temp gauge in cluster wont light up

[lukeworx]

alright lads bit of a weird one,
i have an import s14 (zenki) with white clocks & factory fitted h.u.d
all the lights worked fine but the h.u.d tended to flickered no & again since i bought it, really bright to really dim etc.
since then have done lots on the car including fitting a cilfford alarm, pfc & avcr

anyway the temp gauge & half the rev counter doesnt light up anymore
& i dont know if it happened after the alarm or other electronics were fitted as the car was off the road & its impossible to tell during the day as its quite a dim light from the clocks as standard.

basically thought it was the bulb as you do so changed that & checked fueses
& no issues as i could see, but still no light!
it didnt really bother me but now it does

on another note there was a boost gauge fitted which seemed to be wired off the dash loom & i moved this the other night (had to cut wires & rejoin
to get it out) it worked fine after & of course went for a drive last night & the gauge is off (like getting no power) & the stalks for the indicators arent working the indicators but work for the headlights?
the hazzard button still works the indicators though!

now i havent checked fuses cos it was too dark last night but my question is
would a blown fuse/bad wire cos the dash issue also?
im guessing all the lights wouldnt work rather than just the temp side if this was the problem

so any ideas???

its a faulty bulb holder, faulty bulb, or a damaged track on the circuit ont he back of the clocks, all the dash lights get power/earth from the same source, so its not the source if the rest are working.
