Thats easy. if your speedo lights are out there is a 15Amp fuse under the dash, under the drivers side. If you have your owners manual you will see the location. I think its like the 3rd row or something. Just pull each fuse till you see the blown one. Its a 15A fuse, BTW.

Do your headlights work? If they do and everything else isnt working then it has to be a short in the wire that is Red with Black stripe . This is what turns on with the parking lights... Your tail lights probably are not lit as well if this is it. I dont know how you would have touched that wire with the turbo timer.

Not exactly true. If you blow the fuse for the lights in the dash, the headlights will still work. I put $$$ that is just 1 fuse.

I had this same problem, similar anyway. Problem was my interior gauge lights and my tail lights didnt work. The problem was a wire shorted out in the front right undertray of the car.

Some water or something got up in there and shorted the wires out.

Take a look for that....
