Dash illumimation problem

Okay so just now On my way back home, u notice as soon as i am backing out, my gauge cluster not lit up. I try to use te illuminatikn **** and the whole car including radik and clock do not respond to that as well. The clock and radio lights work but they dont dim when i turn on headlights or manually dumming them. Anyone run into this problem before

i cannot find which fuse would be for the dash. All the lights turn on on the dash, just the illumination doesnt come on. Nothing dims when I move the **** like the radio usually dims with the **** but it doesnt. the clock does not dim when I switch on the headlights. all the indicator lights work like SES and cruise and stuff. Just not the illumination.

haha NmexMax, that was the first thing I did. I'm not that dumb.

So you checked the fuses mentioned in the thread I posted already?

Check the 7.5's and see if one is burnt, odds are, that is the one you need.

i dont have a marker light fuse either. only thing left that i have not ruled out is that both the bulbs in the back blew out. Will check that out after church. i would think if the fuse blew for the lights on the speedometer dash, then the whole thing would not work. cuz all the lights come on except the illumination ones

Okay i guess the lights are just ghetto. It came on without me doing anything. Oh well happy mr
