Speeking of Info Centers, mine just blinks out from time to time, checked all the wiring. Anybody else had this problem?

The big backlighting bulbs are probably either 194 or 168; the smaller ones I couldn't say offhand. Unfortunately mine were all working when I rebuilt my gauge cluster so I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to them (except to notice that the ABS/Traction Off light sockets were pretty toasted; the previous owner was probably driving around a lot with the warning lights blazing away and no functional ABS. )
Any well-stocked store will have those bulbs: Wal-Mart, Meijer, AutoZone, etc.

well i picked up the bulb that the dealer thinks might work today and installed it but it still didnt work, which may open up a whole new can of worms that i dont feel like opening so im not gunna worry about it, its no big deal to me anyway, and its really not worth the time or money

1) What number of bulb did the dealer give you?
2) Can you test it with a meter (i.e. continuity test -- check the resistance through the bulb) to make sure it'* good?
3) Can you test the old bulb the same way?
If the bulbs are good, you've not getting a signal to the SES light, and yes, that might be another can of worms...

well the dealer isnt even sure its the right bulb, on top of that they've changed the bulbs and the numbers on the back of them since the car is made, on top of that the gauge cluster is back in there and i probly wont take it out again for a long time
