My dash lights are not working, i check the fuses and i'm missing one, but when i moved another fuse to check, they still did not come on. From left to right, there are 12 fuses, it is the 7th one missing and the cover is hard to read, should this be the fuse that controls the lights? if not, what does that fuse do? i would have a hard time believing that ALL of the dash lights burnt out... any thoughts?

Fuse 7 is for the instrument lights. It also powers the engine bay/rear trunk light, and the license plate lights. I'm betting you have a short in that circuit somewhere (even odds it's one or both license plate lights being plugged in backwards) and that the fuse you swapped in to test #7 is also popped now.
There are two connections on the license plate lights. The ground one should get a brown wire. The ground connection should have connectivity to the mounting screws, and the power one should not. --DD |
