Dashboard/Radio Lights Stopped Working!

Ok. The lights in the dashboard (speedo lights, rpm, etc) stopped working as well as the display on the radio (the radio works fine just no display), as well as the light around air conditioning.

Only thing I could think of is one of the fuses went bad... Which one should I be looking for?

I hope this is not the problem that the first Gen Altimas had. Turn you dimmer switch just a little. If it is all the lights, it doesn't sound to me like a fuse. More like Electrical problem.

Did you check the dimmer switch/****? Its on the left side of the steering wheel on the dash. You might have accidentally moved it all the way down, thus turning the lights off. You can check this by turning your driving lights/headlights on and check if your speedometer/tachometer light up.. hope this helps.

Stupid me. Girlfriend accidently hit the dimmer. Thanks for the fix.

God I'm a moron sometimes.

I have to take my car in to get numerous things fixed. I am 18 so would they give me a rental car? And whats the best day to take a car in to get it services (do they work sat and sun?).
