Gauge Lights!

This is probably a really NOOB question...But do you guys know where the FUSE for the Gauge Lights are on an s13??? Ive been looking around for it... For so long..and i cant find it... Its getting really annoying driving in the dark with no gauge lights... I have to guess how fast im going...or...carry a flashlight...hahhaha as if im stealing it...

The dash illumination is powered by the same fuse as the parking lamps. If only the dash is out (complete), then you have a bad dimmer switch or possibly the TCU.

well turn signals and stuff work... only the light for the gauges dont work...which im guessing is the illumination light??? doesnt glow when i turn on the lights...eh... sorry for such Noob questions...

Yes. If all the dash illumination (gauges, radio, A/C head, etc.) are all out, but all your parking lamps work, then it's either the TCU or the dimmer switch.

If only the cluster is out and all other interior dash illumination is good, then it's in the cluster somewhere.

If the parking lamps don't work either, it's the tail fuse under the dash.
