Interior Gauges


when i turn on my lights the gauges usually light up. well the other day when i turned on my lights the gauges didnt light up, the clock didnt light up, and the lights down by the stick PRND21 didnt light up. i checked the fuses and they were all fine. does anyone know what it could be?

did you play with the guage cluster at all or anyone else like put in after market ones? cause it has to be shorting out somewhere do you still have interior dome lights? and the HVAC (air conditioning) lights?

i doubt its the bulbs. u know how unlucky and rare it would be for your gauge bolts and clock bolts to go out at the same time....possibly a fuse. check the fuse box for a messed up fuse. if not maybe u've got it set too dim...?
