Default lights out!

Alright folks here it is, about 4 nights ago i drove my girlfriend to work and everything was fine and dandy with my car, but after i dropped her off i started the car back up and hit the lights but my dash lights and all the lights in the center counsel (exept the raido) wouldn't go on, and they still are yet to turn on. Any idea's this is really startin to bug me i like to show off my red glowing gauges, and its kinda ghetto to turn on the dome light so i can see how fast im going :disappointed: Well thanx for the help, i really don't wanna take it to the dealer and have them tell me that the red light bulbs i put in are the cause of it. :nervous:

Check your fuse. That's most likely the cause.

Sounds like a loose connection to me.

As helidoc said, check the tail light fuse. In addition, check the parking light fuse as well. I believe its the same fuse because the tailights, parking lights and dash lights all come on with ONE switch. Or it could be 3. Its real easy to find out. Diagram on the back of the fuse panel.

Alright i figured it out thanks guys, it wasn't the fuses but i got to tracking down the wires for a loose connection or something, and somehow the dimmer switch got disconnected cauzing everything to go out. :dead: Well thanks for the help :smoking:

there are a few other problems with my electrical. First, my turn signals slowly stoped working. They were fine then they only worked occasioally. Now they don't work at all.
Second, my left tail light doesn't work. The brake light works, but not the tail light. They're in the same bulb!?
