Hello, again sorry to post if this has been answered, I am having a problem with my gauge lights, they are out. It all started when i was re-positioning my aftermarket stereo. Everything in the center console is lit up and working. I have checked the fuse, the bulbs, and the plugs behind the gauges but everything looks fine! I really need your help guys, thanks!

I'm not a master electrician, and I'm positive that someone else can diagnose this a lot more accurately than I can, but I would double check the fuses first. Sometimes they can be blown but look just fine. There are more fuses under the hood worth looking into also. My other thought is since you had the dash apart working with your new CD player, you might have accidentally caused a short somewhere. I did the same thing in my old truck once. I was putting a new CD player in, heard a loud pop, and no more dome light frown.gif There was a wire running right through there that I had accidentally taken some of the sheath off of when I was positioning the cd player, and it shorted out. No big deal, just taped the wire and replaced the fuse. Sounds like something like this could have happened to you too.
