Instrument lights Sign In

My daughter's car, a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo has no instrument cluster lights. I have checked all the fuses, they are OK. All the lights on that switch work except the instrument lights. I'm thinking that there is a bulb out somewhere but I can't find where it might be. Please help!

There is a second fuse on the ground side of that circuit for dash lights only. Other than that, you looking at a bad headlamp switch, dash dimmer or dash cluster.

Where would I find this ground side fuse?

In the fuse box with the rest of the fuses.

Re: Instrument lights Sign In

It must be one of those three switches or dimmers since all of the fuses are good. Which would you be most suspicious of?

We don't diagnose things with suspicions. We troubleshoot the electric circuit to find out where it's losing power. That's how electrical problems are found.
