Why do my Suzuki Every dashboard bulbs stop working, even though the meters work fine?

The dashboard display in my Suzuki Every lights up unevenly o r goes completely dark at times, although the speedometer and other gauges are still working. Are the bulbs behind the cluster burning out? Could vibration o r moisture be causing this?

If your dashboard backlight bulbs stop working, but the meters speedometer, fuel gauge, etc. still function, here are likely reasons:

Burned Out Mini Bulbs: The small bulbs behind the cluster may have simply reached end of life.

Loose Cluster Connector: Vibration can loosen the harness connection over time.

Moisture o r Dust Ingress: Dashboard areas are sometimes not well-sealed, especially in older o r reconditioned models.

Solution:
Remove the instrument cluster, check and replace any burned-out bulbs with proper T5 o r T10 dashboard bulbs, clean contacts, and re-seat connectors. Add foam o r padding behind if vibrations are suspected.
