Well this depends on the model, but the fusebox in located on the top right-hand corner in the engine bay (long, black box.) Open up the cover and the designated fuse names should be listed on the other side of the cover. Another possibility is your dimmer switch (black knob, similar to the clock one) located in the front of your instrument cluster, you probably moved it or something-that controls the lighting in the cluster, rotate the knob to the right to get more lighting.(speedometer, clock, gas, oil, etc.) Hope this helps..

Agreed. The illumination knob is probably the issue.

You won't believe how many threads we see on this one!
