Default Instrument cluster issues

Hello all, first post.
Running into issues with my 2002 Polaris 600 Twin Sportsman instrument cluster.
I first noticed issues where the whole cluster would shut off when turning to the right. I didn't notice any loose wires.
After a couple of more rides it will not turn on at all.
Ideas?

I would check for cut wires from area around headlight pod bracket turning back and forth over 17 years might have fatigued a few wire especially were it started when turning? maybe something up to the ones up to left on off handlebar switch keep us posted.

The sad part is they all use these now. Many have had issues with them. When they work they are great but when they dont you have nothing! Give me the older style mechanical gauges, at least you could easily replace them. These electronic systems they have now are very cheap to mfgr but when they go haywire we have to give up our 1st born in order to pay for one. I have not had any isseus with mine but have been told some of these instrument cluster units can run 500 bucks! The mfgr pays less than 100 ....go figure!
