It's under the driver's kick panel, it controls morethan the dash lights (chimes, windshield wipers, etc.) I'm going to take mine out whenever my car has some down time and see if I can resolder some connections to get it working again, or else just take out of a junkyard max.

the speedo and tach interior light will not light up. Is the light inside the dash that comes on when you turn your headlights on. I have check the fuse, the bulbs (3), and the dimmer switch. Somebody told me to check the tcu becaue it controls the lights. But all the other lights comes on in the dash ierkinbrk, abs,engine, etc all work, wipers work, signals work.
thanks for your help

My wipers work too, but my cluster (speedo, tach, fuel) does not light up at all, except the "idiot" lights (seatbelt, brights, cruise) The lights on my AC panel don't light up (only some of them).
