When I first got the car last year, all lights worked. Now, none of the white lights on the dash work but the colored lights for the turn signals, headlight indicators and gas gauge are working. Backpad light doesn't work either. Any ideas of where to look? thanks!

Try turning the knob to see if the dash lights come on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Backpad light works now. |
