Thanks Tony,
When I  went under the cluster cover, and before removing the instrument
cluster,  I moved the foil circuit a bit to see if that would affect the
blue light. It went back on. Apparently I had a bad contact. The light is
now working again.

I will keep your instructions in my "Keeper" files for future reference.
Thanks for the time you took to explain how you do it.

William
