check all the fuses.. there should be one called small lights or something. Not sure if its under the hood or in the kickpanel.

already checked them all and that small light fuse is fine.....????

Clock still work? Instrument cluster gauges and lights work? Little lights on A/C controls? When you turn on the headlights does the clock dim and the little lights on the A/C dim? Does the ashtray light come on? Glove box light? Dome light work?

I have an entire wiring diagram in front of me. Tell me what works and what doesn't.

Been playing with any sort of wiring lately? Kicked the underside of the dash inadvertently? Bad combination switch?

Details! Details!

Okay, even though you've said that you've checked the fuses, check them again.

There's two fuseboxes, as I'm sure you already knew, in the car. One is underneath the dash at the left kick panel, and the other's under the hood at the left rear corner of the engine compartment.

Double check them- every one of them.

also check the Dimmer switch beside the steering wheel...you know the thing that makes the lights brighter on hte cluster...if that is unplugged the cluster lights wont come on at all...

could be the issue if not probabaly just a shorted wire have you done any work to any thing in or on your dash lately?

automotive electrical problems=not fun

figured out why the lights werent turning on the white plastic cover on the back of the cluster had shorted out an electrical path on the circuit board i finally figured out where it was coming from after taking everysingle component in the cluster apart, tested it and saw the smoke coming from the short unfortuneately the circuit board was damaged beyond repair the heat had melted 2 of the paths together and i thought it would just be easier to get a whole new cluster...so off to ralphs...3 hours later new/used cluster works kept all the old guages and even the odometer transfered over nicely...all in all i would not want to ever have to go through this again it was costly and took forever to diagnose..i rolled around with no dash lights for at least 3 weeks!! if anyone experiences this problem heres a possible answer
