Default Lights on dash don't work...

I have a 1992 CX hatchback.

<u>Mods:</u> APEX'i RSM

The RSM has been installed for 2-3 weeks now and after installation the dash lights worked fine. Test drove the car today since I got it registered finally and the dash lights didn't come on when I turned the headlights on, I don't think the corners are working either(if i only turn the corners on w/out the headlights).

The circled area is where the lights are still functional, the rest are dead - guages still work and so does the ac, etc. I don't have the jdm guage cluster or climate control, these are the only images I could find and I'm just using them so you can see my problem.





Thanks!

Yeah. Not all the lights are out, the indicator ones work(the ones circled in the pics above). I've searched and no one has really given a direct answer to what caused the problem.

are your outside marker lights working? if theyre not, check your parkinglight fuse. if only your dash lights arent work, its probably your dimmer switch

This happened to me like 2 days ago, if your tail lights arent on, its a fuse. The tail/dash/acc are all in one 10amp fuse.

My corners aren't working, I know that - I'm going outside right now to see if my tail lights are working. I'm actually hoping that they aren't so all I have to do is replace a fuse.

my dash light go out here and there i just give my dash a swift hard punch and they usually turn right back on somtimes it takes a few hits. I know this prolly isnt your solution sounds like it's my dimmer switch but for you looks like a wire loose just smack your dash and see what happens.

Ok so this is exactly what happened in my car. My car didn't come with a manual so if you could be so kind as to point out which fuse to replace, it would be greatly appreciated.

I do know its on the top, it goes i THINK spare, blank, fuse, 2 blanks, 7.5, 10.

The 10 is the one that needs replaced. I do know FOR SURE it goes 2 spaces, a 7.5 and then the 10. Its almost in the middle.
