i checked most the fuses and i cant seem to find one that is out. also the rear tail lights do not work but brake lights do... i dont see any fuses that say dash or tail lights... any help would be nice

Check ur under hood fuses as well as ur under fuses. I would be inclined to say its more then likely in your under dash fuse panel. Go there to start

m3dia_lab

does anyone know what the lable on the fuse would be??

sivikvtec

is it a 5th or 4th gen?? do the headlights work, or just the brights?

m3dia_lab

Same thing happened to me this is what you have to do

Look under the fuse box under the dash locate the Meter Fuse pull it out, it should be burned out (it's a 15 if I'm correct) go to pep boys or auto zone buy new reverse bulbs (this is what's causing the dash to burn out) after you replace the bulbs replace the fuse, and you're done. I know it sounds weird but turst me that's what caused the problem. It fixed me and another guy who had the same problem.

Good Luck

Well let me know if it worked, if it didn't I'll try to dig up some info on other forums

m3dia_lab

meter fuse is good; back up fuse is good....

this is really starting to confuse me...

nonvteclude

did you swap it with a new one, sometimes they are bad even though they look good

m3dia_lab

i will go try that...

m3dia_lab

did not help

m3dia_lab

could it be the dimmer switch? i know on my altima the dash lights would not work if the dimmer went out, is it the same for a honda?

'95 BA8

I really don't know then, because my whole dash went out and the RPMs and Speedometer wouldn't move so I checked every fuse and it was that, maybe you have a short somewhere, you should go get it checked, sorry man I'll see if I can find some more info

m3dia_lab

thanks for all the help... if you find anything please let me know

'95 BA8

Ok I will, just wondering did the dash go out after you pulled out of reverse or as soon as you started the car?

m3dia_lab

it was this way when i bought it, just last sunday

I have the same problem right now on my 5th gen. On mine it is a melted wire on the back of the fuse box right near my feet on the drivers side. I went through the same mess looking at fuses and it ended up being a bad connection going into the fuse box.

'95 BA8

It was that way, you should of bought that car..the miles don't run either do they? I know when my dash burned out it didn't run, there for if I take it out the meter fuse I could put as many miles as I want on my car and sell it and no one would know..but it could be a melted wire like he said.

I think he's talking about just the lights, not the physical movement of the needles, etc.

That sucks man, I couldn't find anything else but good luck though. Do your turn signals and high beams dash lights turn on when you use them?

You sure your tail lights aren't burned out? I had to replace 3 bulbs when I first bought my used 4th gen.

Bad connection somewhere. I had problem with my dash lights. needles was moving only the fuel and temp lights out when headlights on. also no cluster lights. i thought its the dimmer switch so didnt have time to get new one. what I did is just take off the long blue connector out 20pin which u should find behind cluater deep down into panels left. it doesnt connected anywhere just a blue plastic cover. i taked this off and had back my cluster lights also speedo. in other case u have somewhere short or u can take off speedo. take off one bulb, insert exactly same diammeter buld with plastic frame and two wires. for example like other cluster light or small cigaret case light. put it in then connect to battery for chech. it should light all bulbs in the speedo. of course forget about to dimm it lol. then connect wire to ground and + to IGN wire or headlights up to u and it will just work fine. if u wanna do everything right go ahead and dissasemble all speedo. take a good light and chech all soldering points for cracks. start with those who has wires to take from connector. solder cracks and u good to go. its electrical problems. sometimes easy to fix, sometimes u wanna smach car with hammer. good luck.
