A few months ago I was trying to replace one of the steering wheel radio control light bulbs and I obviously screwed something up. For some reason now I turn the headlights on and they work fine, but my gauge cluster, steering wheel controls, and ac/heat controls do not light up. I replace the switch and checked the fuse, but all that to no avail. Is there a fusible link, or something behind the dash that I could have shorted. I bought a white faced gauge cluster that lights up now that is wired to the switch so I can see me gauges, but nothing else. Help! Been trying to fix this for months now.

 

Check fuse #13 it's the 5 amp fuse labeled IP Dimmer.

 

Same thing happened in my car the other day. I haven't had a chance yet to work on it, but if i find out what it is, i will post it. Unless of course, you've already fixed it.

 

Thanks and no I havent fixed it. I honestly havent even worried about it that much, because I have the white gauge that lights up, i can still read my gauges at night, its just one of those many little things with my car that **** me off, because I dont know what is causing it. I will never stop until everything on my car works the way it is supposed to!

 

Finally had a chance to check mine. Slopo was right it was the IP Dimmer fuse- 5 amp. Thanks Bro.

 

Your welcome, glad I finally got one right

 

Damnit!!!! That was it!!!! I have been without the interior lights for freakin 9 months all because of a fakkin 5a fuse. I coulda sworn I checked all my fuses several times, but obviously not. Thanks alot man!!!
