might be a good time to personalize your dash lights and throw in some led bulbs.

I just got finished changing the bulbs. I also changed the fuse for good measure. The guages are still not lighting up. I know the Leds are ok though because the turn signal lights are working. One thing I did notice though is when I turn on the headlights the screen on the radio that shows the time goes out. the radio still works but that light turns off as soon as the headlghts come on. If anyone has any ideas it would help a lot. I am completly lost on this.

make sure fuse 13 is good and getting power. if the dash light for the odometer is working then see if it dims when you turn the dimmer wheel. if not you may have an issue in the gage cluster itself. by the way what year is your car?

The dim wheel does nothing to the odometer. The car is a 2000.

ahh ok you have a digital one. well for some reason your not getting power to the lights. check to see if there is power coming out of the back of the wheel switch. i dont have a schematic for the 2000 so i cant tell you which wire should have power.
