The fuses are located under the steering wheel to the left on the knee panel. Just open the panel and look for the appropriate fuses to replace. It's pretty easy. Just ask if you have any more questions.

Also, you can perform a search by clicking the button up top and searching in the 3rd gen forums, etc. You will find a wealth of information. Good luck.

I have checked under the steering wheel but can't seem to find one for the speedometer "lights". There is one that says "meter" on it but thats for the alarm lamps. I am assuming the fuse may be under the hood but i lost the label cover so i cant figure our which one it might be. If you can figure it out please let me know.

check your taillight fuse..

they're on the same circuit, designed to make you fix them when they go out.. this way when the taillights go out, the dash lights die too.. so whether or not you see the fact your taillights aren't working, you fix your dash lights. blah blah blah.
check your taillight fuse(s).

also.. does your radio lose it's memory and stuff when the car is shut off? do the seat belts work if the engine is NOT running?
if you've got problems there, it's another problem, that's easy to fix. lemme know.

Bingo!

That worked for me perfectly. It was the tail light fuse. Thanx for the help everyone.
