check the fuse box to the left of the drivers side. kinda by where your foot chills when your not on the clutch. more like where your shin is. its all labeld really nice, im not sure if it is there or in the engine compartment, but you probably already checked there. get sum needle nose plyers and yank em til u find the blown one.
also, its just 5 oclock here in vegas, wher da heck r u?

After checking all the fuses, it was the taillamp fuse in the front fuse box that blew, so if your gauges ever stop working, check your tail lamp fuse- ps im in CT and it got dark really early today

that happened to me one night. every light on my car except for the headlights and brake lights were out. its weird how that one fuse controls all of those things

happened to me, too..
i blew a few fuses after incorrectly wiring my illuminated centerpiece (see the mods section) .. when i finally ran out of fuses, i just wrapped several layers of thin gauge wire around the fuse and stuck it back in. Fixed the problem and forgot about it. Several weeks later (actually.. about two months) the wiring melted into the fuse casing, causing an intermittant loss of interior lighting.. When it finally quit, i drove it home and on a hunch checked the fuses.. it had melted into the plastic fuse casing and shorted. Changed it, and with the previous wiring problem gone, it never happened again.
Always check the fuses, both under the hood, and by your left foot. 99 time out of 100, that's where your problem will lie. _____________________________________________ -Dino Yancey Hello me, it's Me Again!

The automakers have been tying the instrument light power into the taillight fuse circuit for many years. It's quite intentional, and designed to alert you to the fact that your taillights are out so you don't pose a nighttime driving hazard to others.

yup. check your taillights. mine went out tonight, and it made the interior lights turn off, too. the fuse for the taillights is located under the hood, under taillamp assembly

Same here. Was driving home when I scraped my bumper, popping out my clear sidemarkers with the bulb assembly. Suddenly all the gauge lights went out. Was driving at 8:30 Pm with no idea how fast I was going...
