I have a '92 five-speed EX sedan that I bought used a couple months ago. My headlights (both normal and bright), foglights, and taillights light up without a problem when I turn them on. However, my dashboard lights don't light up (gauges, climate control, hazard and rear defrost buttons). Any ideas on what might be causing this? I've already tried setting the dimmer switch at low, high, and everywhere in between to no avail. Thanks.

 

Start with the obvious things like fuses, grounds and if the bulb is or is not burnt out.

 

The light relay in the underhood box doesn't want to come out........would this possibly be causing the problem even though the headlights foglights and taillights themselves all work?

My other thought was possibly a bad dashboard light dimmer switch.....

 

i dont know much about a 92.. but in my 97 i have this little *** thing, real little and u can turn it left or right to dim or brighten all those lights..

again i dont knwo if a 92 has something like that , just trying to help

 

Thx....I have a switch like that on the dash to the right of the steering column.....gonna pull that today and see if that's where the problem is.

 

it might be your DRL module
