Gauge Lights

I read the faq about this but it was kind of vague,... my gauge lights do not work, none of them.. At first I thought it was a bad fuse but i checked all the fuses down by the clutch and they're all good. The taillights DO work and that's what's wierd, i thought maybe the bulb on the light was burned out and when i took the gauge cluster off i realised there was like 50 bulbs and none were burnt. Can someone tell me a bit more into detail on how to fix it and where the switch that they say is burned out can be located.. Thanks.

Fuse, meter, don't look at fuse, just replace. Meter is the one that says meter on the cover. Trust me, just change it, and you will be happy.

PEACE THE DOG

yeah check fuses with a multimeter, not your eyes.

my wipers and logicon didnt work for like 6 months. tried everything. turned out to be a hairline crack on the "cigar" fuse. I always take a resistance and continuity rating on fuses now

what part of this was not clear???:

My dash lights don't work
Did you check the dimmer control??? If you did and they still don't work the light switch connections may have burnt out. Check the back of the light switch.
says pretty clear that you need to check the back of the light switch.... not the bulbs.

And the parking lights are on a different circuit. They do not dim up and down like the dash lights can. Why do people think they should be related???
