Need Help Asap!! Dash Lights Are Not Working!!
well my dashlights are not working! i checked every single fuse i could find in my fuse box. everything is good! i dont know what went wrong. i wired up my radio and when i was gonna go for a ride i put my lights on and my dash lights didnt come on. everything else works though... what could be the problem??
any 1 got suggestions on what i can check or do? please let me know asap. i realy dont want to get pulled over while im driving with my overhead lights on so i can check my speed at night.

try turning up the dimmer on the headlight switch 
If your dash lights are gone/idiot lights acting up/dome lights dead, you may want to resolder some connections on both your cpu (not ECU), and idiot light cluster.
Checking and redoing all your grounds could help the problem as well.
Clean your battery terminals.

I did the same thing yesterday when wiring up my stereo, i blew the illum fuse, it's a ten amp fuse in the upper left hand corner of the fuse box, it turns out that I had the ground wire for the stereo wired to my illumination wire from the car, so everytime the stereo would turn on, the fuse would of course blow,
check all your wire connections, and all your fuses, then check them again, thats what i did.
