no lights for gauges

[nixon]

Hey I tried searching for something similar but couldnt find anything...

All my gauges work, all the warning lights such as check engine/parking brake/change oil and all those lights work but the actual illumination for the speedo and tach aren't working. All I did previous to them not working was take the center console out and disconnected the controls for A/C and such.

Everythings back in and connected tight but still no lights....is it possibly a fuse? I tried looking at the fuse panel but I have no idea which fuse could just power those lights. Or is possible that the bulbs themselves are f'd?

check all fuses, there's one illumination fuse, but i forget what one, your dimmer might be shot as well

Checked all fuses and they all seem good to me....stupid question but if a fuse is blown its pretty damn obvious right?

I also noticed the lights for A/C and heat controls don't light up either but are still functional. Any way I can test the dimmer?

Never mind i found the problem, you were right it was a blown fuse. It was one I had a hard time getting out so i left it and tried looking at it...it seemed ok but once i finally got it out it was blown.. Replaced it and everything works great now. Thanks!
