Icon4 93 del sol gauge lights wont come on

So, you know when you turn your headlights on and your cluster lights up so you can see your gauges at night? well my cluster doesn't light up https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/thud.gif (and neither do the lights inside my automatic gear selector) but ALL the other lights inside the cluster work fine (turn signals, battery light, oil pressure light, check engine light, brake light, seat belt light, SRS EVERYTHING)
i feel like something is shorted out or blown fuse. any ideas?
thanks in advance

possibly bad dimmer switch. check fuses before buying

just following up on this thread...
i ended up figuring out what was wrong and found an easy fix.

the small yellow box on the inside if the cluster behind the *** that adjusts the brightness there was a tiny strip of copper that was severed so i connected the two broken ends with a tiny piece of copper wire and covered that with another tiny piece aluminum foil, sealed it off with electrical glue to secure the connection and voila!

hope this helps!
