    Gauge lights not working!

    Hey guys, recently I noticed that the lights for all my gauges (fuel, speedometer, tach, and temp) have gone out. I'm very bad with electronics and wiring, so I'm not familiar with checking fuses or wires, but I know how to replace light bulbs (although I doubt all the bulbs for these gauges went out all at once).

    I've already checked the dimmer dial and it hasn't accidentally been switched down, though I wish it was. Can you guys help me out? Which fuse should I be checking/replacing?

    The fuse layout is listed on the underside of the fusebox lid.

    Nobody reads owner’s manuals these days?

    Thanks guys, it ended up being fuse #37 being blown. Such a simple fix.
