I sat in his car when this happened. The idiot lights and headlights were on but the gauge lights turned off randomly so you couldn't see speed,tach, temp, boost, and fuel when they went off.

again,

All the dash lights or just the gauges???

Pretty simple question

You do know that the lights in the Logicon, and the switches all normally light up when the lights are on, right???

Well do those still work, or is it just the gauges not working???

That happened to me, all the lights were still on, sans cluster. Turns out I was shorting a radio wire. Fixed that, replaced the fuse, and all was fine.

all my dash lights wont backlight, and electronic suspensionNormal/Sport lights, are out. also, you know when you turn your headlights on, your brake lights kind of go on also, and a light lights up your liceanse plate, none of that is coming on
