need help with dash lights...the cluster and surronding lights are dead?
 

I was driving today and i looked at my cluster all the lights dimmed all of a sudden i went to the dimmer and it was dimmed up all the way i even tuned it down but it stayed the same the dimer isnt working....but now my lights are completely off what can i do??????????

Check the fusebox.

Relays after that.....

??
 

which fuses should i check for also there are fuses in the driver kick panel also i see fuses in the engine bay....how should i go about checking the fuses.....i just noticed also that my dim lights dont go on and niether do the tail lights...my power window,sunroof,alarm,and pop up lights,JVC deck,turn signals all do.......though

RELAY, inside the engine bay... There should be 2 of them, one close to the battery, NOT that one, I cant remmeber where it was when it was stock, but it has 5 or 6 relays, check them. Or take it to Mazda for the easier answer. They can spot it faster by computer...

You really ought to buy a shop manual too. Lot's of help diagnosing problems in there...

good call...
