This problem started tonight while I was driving home. I turned on my headlights and the lights behind my gauges, stereo or shifter don't come on. I checked the fuses and such and none of them have blown. I'm sure that this will be an easy fix I just dunno where and what to start looking for.

the switch went bad probably, one should not cose much so i would try that.

I am pretty sure if you have the stereo, and the dash/shifter lights, off it would be a fuse.
check the big metal fuses in the fuse panel too.

put your voltmeter on ohms, and check it, of the meter says 0.00 it is good, but if there is resistance it is blown.

but if it was just the dash lights, it very well could be the switch.

check your dimmer switch. I have turned mine down and for got or some body messed with it or could be the light switch shorted out.

hey thats true i did not think of that, my dimmer dose not work so i dont have to worry about that.

Well I looked at my fuse diagram and I checked fuse no. 6 (the relay for the gauge lights) and it wasn't blown. So would one of the large metal fuses cause that, it's wierd because all the other lights and accesories in my car work but the gauge backing lights, the stereo lights and the shifter light (the shifter light illuminates P R N OD D 1).

listen to these guys. Check the dimmer switch. turn it and it will probably turn on all your lights.

Ya, that was the first thing that I tried, I'm not that dumb.
