I was driving along the other day to work, and low and behold my dash lights decide they don't want to work. I figured it was an easy fix, possibly a blown fuse. I checked all of the fuses under the dash and also the ones under the hood. I really am not sure which fuse is for the dash lights, seeing as I don't have an owners manual. I replaced any blown fuses and my dash lights still wont work. My tail/brake/parking/head lights still work, as well as my radio and everything else electrical in the car as far as I know.

I haven't really delt to much with the electrical aspect of cars, so im really at a road block here. Any help is appreciated. Details will definately help. Thanks a lot.

Here is the info for my '93, maybe it will help. If not, take off the instrument cluster bezel and check for a blown bulb.

FUSE # 15 - 15 Amp (Lt. Blue)
Instrument Panel Lamps, Clock, Radio/Clock & Memory, Headlamp
Switch, Parking Lamps.

Did you try smacking it back on? Really worked for me once.

Whoa. Whoa, Whoa... !

There are several bulbs poked in the back of that bezel. The odds of all of them going out all at once is pretty slim I would think.

Perhaps you wheeled the ol' gyrl a bit and shook the connecting harness a little loose? (Thus the smacking)

~Good Luck! ,and please keep us posted...

The fuse is fine.
I replaced it just to be sure.
And no luck.


Ill check the connecting harness next.

I had a buddy come and look at it. He says it's the dimmer switch. I ordered a new one. Should be working shortly.
