Dashboard lights

Can anyone tell me which fuse is related to the lights behind the dials on the dash,in a CA18ET?ive hunted through the fuse box and had no luck.if its not the fuse,then its more than likely to be the bulbs themselves.has anyone removed the dials and had to replace these bulbs?im also having a problem with the vechicles exterior lights.every other light works apart from the tail-lights(brakes come on ok) and the front side lights.i hvae checked the bulbs and they seem fine,also,so is the fuse.anyone got any ideas??? :dontknow:

take your fuse block out and check the terminals mine were corrided beyond repair on my first car i just hardwired what i needed

it can be anyone of these things,

dimmer switch
wiring connections
fuse
bulbs: to take out the cluster remove the light panels on either side of the main cluster behind those are screws and clips on the back half it should pop up with a little force
dimmer modual: in the right side kick panel

My dash doesnt light up either.I dont know why. When you guys find out what it is please let me know. thanks

The dash lights (as well as the rest fo the interior lights) are on the parking lights fuse. A quick way to check to see if this is the issue is to turn on your lights and see if you have tail lights, if you do, it's not the fuse.

Its not hard to take out the gauge cluster.

Remove the small panels at the sides of the cluster ( the right one has a fuel light)

Behind these there are 2 screws. remove these.

Now lift the "lid" of the cluster.

Then remove the 4 screws that holds the cluster in place.

Done.
