if n e one could help it would be much appreciated. the lights on my gauge cluster have all gone out, so have the lights on my climate controls, ive checked all the fuses and they seem fine. if n e one has had this problem please let me know what u did. i hope its not a wiring problem and has an easy solution, everything with the displays are stock and i havnt messed with them yet

I ahd this problem with the my '86 GTS. It turned out to be a burned out dimmer switch and associated wires. I went to a junk yard got a dimmer with wires for about $5-10, replaced them and never had anymore problems after that. I don't recall if the climate controls are in that dimmer loop, so I don't know if yours is the same problem or not. I'd say check the dimmer for schorch marks and the wire insulation for burns. Let me know if I can be of further help.

Did you take apart the dash or anything? If you disconnect the dimmer switch, the dash lights no longer work.

Also, it's happened to people before...make sure you don't just have the dimmer switch turned all the way down.

this happened to me to for some reason if your hazard lights are disconected from the back of the panel none of the interior lights work dont ask me cause sometimes when your working on a car you forget to plug in a few things

Also, your turn signals won't work if this happens.

my harard switch got disconnected and i was going crazy for three days trying to figure out what the hell happend...i felt so dumb afterward
