no dash lights in 2000 Trans Am Hello Ls1Tech,
I have a 2000 Trans Am WS6, as of lately the only light that comes on inside my car when i have the headlights on is the Odometer(mileage light), nothing else, a few bulbs are burnt out I believe but I get no lights on my speedometer, radio buttons, or headlight toggle ****(thats been out for a bit actually), i notice that when I arm the alarm though the lights will flash on and off like normal. I looked in the fuse box on the side of the dashboard and checked all relative ones but it does not appear that any of them are busted. Any ideas or past experiences? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

New car to you? Or did this happen of a sudden. I vote for a loose or shorted wire or a blown fuse that you have not seen yet. Check in dash and engine bay. I have not looked at my car in a while and I would say never assume anything. Check them all.

Thanks for the reply. Ive had this car brand new since 2011, one day on my way to work i heard a flick sound the dash lights were off. Headlights work fine. Ill check all fuses and see if any are busted. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

ahh. sorry for the late response on this but the issue was resolved. I noticed that a while after my dash lights didnt work anymore that the rear lights were not working anymore even when headlights turned on. I looked in the underdash fuse box and found the fuse for rear lights was blown. I replaced and it resolved the dash lights being out too. So there was some sort of fuse dependency goin on there.

I know about the one on the side of the dash. But was unaware that there was another fuse panel box 'under the dash'.
Where is it exactly?
I have a similar issue that was posted months ago & didn't get a single response.
*goin' out to the garage to look under the dash now, ...*
