    Instrument cluster HELPP

    Last night while driving home the
    backlight from the instrument cluster went out.

    How do I fix this? is it a fuse or do i have to take the whole thing out??

    HELPP!!

    do the gauges work? if so, then you need to take out the cluster and replace the bulbs.

        I took out the cluster and the bulbs were fine
        checked fuse 15 and it was out lol
        next time I'm checking the fuses first.
        Thanks
