Hello, My dash light wont come on. My engine light, seat belt light, high beam light, and turn signals still light up, but my speedometer and tachometer wont light up. I drive to work when its still dark outside and I have no clue how fast I am going and its a real problem. I Looked for loose wires, checked all the plugs and fuses and all kinds of things but can't seem to find the problem. Please help.

Did yod also be that your dash light dimmer is turned all the way down check your bulbs? Your post doesn't say if you did or not. It could also be your dimmer is turned all the way down bulbs turn your headlight switch all the way to the right and see if your lights work then. It's a simple mistake. Check your bulbs as they may be burnt out as well. They screw in kind of halfway. If not have a pro check to see if the headlight switch is bad or you r circuit behind the tach and speedo may be bad.
