    Do you mean the gauge cluster or all of the indicator lights throughout?

        once pulled, turn the headlight knob clockwise (the plunger thingy) and do it when dark out. Still no lights on the cluster?

          yes. first things to check are that you haven't dimmed the gauges and secondly that you haven't blown a fuse.

            You can also try whacking dashboard above the gauges.

              Check the dimmer on the headlight switch by rotating it clockwise for full ON, counter clock wise for dim. Try rotating it back and forth to see any change. Do this in the garage or at night so you can see what's going on it. Many times it's just the potentiometer in the headlight switch.
