Instrument panel Dash Lights are out ? Help....
I have a 2000 Z28 and the dash board instrument panel lights are not working.
All gauges work fine, headligthts turn on like normal and all fuses I know to check seem fine. I just dont have any illumination to the dashboard lights at all. I do have normal interior lights..just no instrument lights.
I removed the instrument panel (gauge cluster) and viewed all of the bulbs in it, they look fine.
Help Help.....is there a special fuse I am not finding...?
Help... E-MAIL ME AT(TTEXCYTER@AOL.COM) OR INTERNAL TO THIS SITE....

check the 5 amp fuse at the bottom of the fuse box. That's most likely your problem. Also a good way to check is look at your odometer in the daytime, turn on your headlights, if it goes away, then it's something with that fuse or circuit.

I am glad to see a reply to my post that has usefull data...I checked the fuse its fine..and the Odometer brightness goes dull when I turn on headlights..
I think I have it isolated to the Dimmer switch...must replace it and see if this fixes it..otherwise I bet its the POS BCM or Gauge console being FUBAR...maybe
thanks for the data relating toodometer brightness....
