About a week ago I left my lights on, and a friend of mine kindly turned them off for me... unfortunately I think he managed to screw up my headlight switch! Since he turned them off for me, the white bulbs around the gauges and behind my heater controls won't light up anymore. My SES and Upshift lights still work, as do my turn signals. I tried turning the **** back and forth, and it'll turn the dome light on, but none of the guage bulbs or HVAC bulbs will light up... did he maybe knock something loose in the switch, or did he manage to actually break something...? HELP! I need ideas!

 

If, with the head light switch on & the rheostat (dimmer) in the full bright position, there is no power to the green wire going to the 5 ampere INST fuse, then the rheostat built into the head light switch is probably defective. If there is power to the fuse, the fuse may be blown.

EDIT: Never mind, I didn't realize there were 2 different fuses. Guages and Inst. The piddly little 5 amp fuse was blown. Thanks!
