The only light working on instrument cluster is the security/anti-theft light. I checked interior fuse box fuses using test light and found instrument illumination fuse (7.5 amp) has no power. Fuse is not blown, swapped one of the other 7.5-amp fuses to make sure, same result. What should I do now?

Hi,

Because this vehicle isn't offered in the US, I have no access to wiring schematics. However, I will try my best to help.

As far as this type of issue, the fuse box in most vehicles receives power from a heavier amp fuse under the hood in a power distribution box. Since you have no power to the fuse in the vehicle, check the ones under the hood to see if there is one that failed.

If there aren't any, check other fuses in the interior box to see if others lost power as well.

Let me know what you find.

Joe

Hi,

No problem whatsoever. It isn't only US. We get all types, but your specific vehicle isn't offered here. Regardless of that, we still try our best to help. Most cars are designed basically the same. So, never feel you can't ask. That's why I'm here.

Let me know what you find or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
