When I purchased this car the backlights for the gauges were not working, nor on the console for the a/c and to show if I was in D or P. I didn't notice til a couple weeks later when I drove at night and couldn't tell how fast I was going. I have checked the fuses and nothing is blown. I have checked the manuals to make sure all the fuses are in the right places and they are. I don't know what to do. I love this car but really hate driving at night with a mini-flashlight in one hand trained on the gauges to tell how fast I'm going. So ghetto. Can you help me figure this out?

I had some of that happen. They do use light bulbs.

The auto gear lights are really easy to replace along with the HVAC cluster.

I had to go to junk yard to get mine. I never did get the lights on the a/c cluster for the fan mode (the floor only, floor and upper vents and 3-4 more combos) as I couldn't find where thiose bulbs were. I thought the switches just pull out and they don't.

For the dash lights, I think you'll need to take the dash apart.
