Gauge cluster not lighting up, can some one help me? Options

[batcavee00]

every since i got this celica i noticed that the gauges never illuminated at night. i turned the dinner switch back and forth and nothing....

last sunday i took the dash panel out where that switch sits on and i checked for power at those wires. one was a (-) and the other 2 were (+) but at no time did any of those wires have power which is weird.



is there a particular fuse for the illumination?
because i checked one by one and they are all ok. the lights on the climate control dont show nor the emergency lights.


can someone help me out please? i hate driving at night not knowing how fast im going =/

if its original bulbs, replace em.. mine went out last summer bc the bulbs were 14 years old, so thats more than likely your problem
