Center console dash lights

Looking at the wiring diagram if fuses 17 and 29 in the right rear fuse panel test okay (use a test light connected to ground and touch the probe to both of the pins on top of the fuses) then the actual cluster in the dash is the most likely culprit. It feeds those lamps off a different lamp driver.
To see if there is power at the cluster requires the cluster be removed to get to the wiring, then test the orange/gray wire at pin E12 for power.

I will give that a try in a bit hopefully i can figure it out today. thank you. I will give you an update if it works.

Good luck. This is one of those times I would like to whack the designer over the head. A simple dimmer switch attached to the headlight switch did this job for decades, but no they just have to come up with a way to make is more complicated.

I know exactly how you feel they just had to make everything so difficult just so people take the cars to the dealerships.

Hey so i tested those fuses as well again and also the wire test for the orange/grey wire and my tester light came on so meaning it has power. I just don't understand why i have no lights on anything in the center console

If there is power there you either have a failed inline splice or there is a ground issue. The attached is the wiring for those lights. Trace the power and grounds. Note that there are 2 wires of the same color that feed the lights from the console.

So ill have trace back to find the ground issue? This seems frustrating I just wish it was fuse or something easy but thanks for your help sir!

Yeah, it's either a ground issue or there is a connection point in the power feed that isn't shown on the diagram. You could test them easier though. As they are all 12V lights run a wire from the battery positive down to one of the lights and feed 12v into the orange/gray power side. If they all light up you have a broken power feed. I suspect it's someplace in the power side because the seat switches and prindl don't share a ground.

I will do what i can and hopefully figure it out soon. Everything works in the center console but just no lighting on the clock and the heated seats also prldn but the stereo has lights. Ill try do what you suggest thanks again

Those share the same power but the diagram shows different grounds. The stereo uses a different power feed for it's lights.

So what wire so for he lighting on these? Im guessing the orange/grey is the power source right? Because this started I believe when i unplugged my hvac control switch and plugged it back in the whole interior light dimmed while plugged and starter smoking a bit so i unplugged it waited and since then the lights are out but can't figure out what happened.

OK, you will want to check that a pin didn't get bent and fry the power feed wire.

Like on the control unit or the actual plug on the vehicle?

At the connector you unplugged.

But the control switch works just no lights and it seems something sparked the rest of the stuff also

There are multiple pins in that connector, if the light power feed pin was bent and then grounded out and stayed that way you would have no lights because of that. The smoke means something shorted and burned. You need to determine what.

So the cars plug pin might be the issue? So how can i locate that? And possibly fix? I used know
Fuses go out in situations like this

I mean the connector you unplugged from the HVAC unit. You say it smoked after you plugged in the connector. That plug is the one to check. Pull it back out and see if one of the connectors is damaged.

Okay i have to hvac switches i own and i will try it with both that could be the issue maybe you are right

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

I have tried that now and still haven't fixed the issues. I have checked all fuses and all the bulbs also and nothing seems to be the issue

It has to be somewhere on the power feed side. The problem is finding it. I'm betting that the smoke you saw was a driver circuit burning out. It will probably take a new dash cluster to repair it, that will need to be programmed to match the vehicle.

So possiblely a new cluster huh? Even though the cluster currently works well and lights up?

The cluster has the light driver in it which controls the lights you are missing. If the other items check out it's about the only thing if the wire itself isn't burnt out. Have you tried putting 12 volts on one of the "bad" lights power feed and seeing if they all light up? If they light then you have a good ground and the wiring to the lights is good, it almost has to be the light driver in the gauge cluster then, or the trace that feeds the lights burnt.

Okay ill give the solutions a try and see what happens hopefully i can finally figure this out ill keep you updated today thanks!

Update * I have replaced the instrumental cluster with another used one to try get back the light issues did not seem to work ... the new cluster has the check engine light on so I plugged my old one back also again and no check engine light with that one ... not sure
If the check engine light is one with the new cluster because now thats working properly and it is trying to tell me the issues or its on because of the new cluster?

You cannot just "plug in" the cluster, it has to be programmed to work with your vehicle. Unless that is done you won't know if the light is on for a problem or if it's due to the programming.
That is also why you cannot just "plug in" most components on that car. If they are not programmed for it they won't work correctly.

Have you bothered to test the lights to determine if they actually light up or not?

I was told that these cluster self program them selfs once plugged in? Im not sure about it i will do a test on them individually tonight to check if the lights so work
