Under the hood between the brake booster and the fender. Instrument panel illumination should be position 22 5A also see 25, 33, 37.

The previous owner too the sticker daigram off the cover so I don't know were the positions are at! This is my first bummer so I'm clueless on where the positions at. A link would be good too that for helping though too!!

Open the hood and on the right hand side there is a black box. Thats where the fuses are located. I also have the same model. I take a picture of it and posted in a few hrs when my sis get back with the car. I have the same model. One question i had related to this topic is how do you check if you have a blown fuse in there? I opened it up and it looks fine but some lights in the interior do not work for me, ex. the heater wheels and temp wheel lights. At least from the outside everything looks good but not sure the proper way to check a fuse. thanks

A continuity tester is the easiest, runs a low voltage to a light, no light no circuit.

When I turned my car on this morning same thing happened to me, instrument panel is not working. I've checked the fuses and they all seem to be good, can anyone tell me what else I should check??

thanks in advance

Check the dimmer switch on the back of the headlight switch. The dash lights draw power from there and if it has been turned all the way down, they will be out. Faults are also commoin in the switch.

everything works on the cluster except for the needles & the odometer reading.
