try turning the dial under your speedo, it's the dash light dimmer and it also serves as the tripometer reset if you press it. if that doesn't do anything the mechanism which controls the dimmer (rheostat) could be fried.

no other fuseboxes but the one

awesome. that's easier than pulling the cluster to replace your dimmer switch.
