Quick Fuse Question

Hey guys, quick question. Which fuse should I check for my illumination dash lights on a '92 Firebird. The dash lights are the only lights in on/in the car that don't work. Is there even a fuse that only controls these illumination lights?

Re: Quick Fuse Question

check your wires or take your gauge cluster out and see if your lights are good.

Re: Quick Fuse Question

Before you go to all that trouble, check the dash dimmer located above the headlight switch. It's possible that the problem is right there, so even if you changed out instrument clusters you would be saddled with the same issue. Also look at the wiring diagrams at austinthirdgen.org. You'll find it under tech articles.
