Gauge cluster issue...probably a dumb question...

Hey guys,

Recently, my gauge cluster lights all went out at the same time on my 99, minus the light where the ODO is. It still works normally.

I've checked all of the fuses I would think would be the right one for the cluster lights, and they all seem to be good.

Is it possible that all of the bulbs went out at once? Or am I just blind to which fuse is the correct one?

It's pretty hard to tell how fast I'm going at night at the moment...(not really a bad thing I suppose )

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

There isn't any separate fuse for the cluster lights. The odo led segment is always backlit, even in the daytime, it's the way the thing is built.

Do you have lights in the heater controls and things like that?

Like luke95gxe said, check the dimmer switch. It may have been bumped and turned off.

Thanks for the help guys.

I took the dash apart to check the dimmer switch and turns out it was loose. I had a radio installed about a month ago and they must've made it come loose. Everything is working now.

Thanks!
