do your tail lights work when you turn on the headlights?

Hey tx
It does sound like the bulb(s) in the instrument panel have blown. You will have to remove it to change the bulb. Let us know!

i had a similar problem in my 1994 isuzu i had no panel lights and not tail lights because they are on the same circuit and it turned out to be a short, check first to make sure your tail lights are coming on before you take the time and trouble to pull the dash apart

Suggested Repair

Confirm the tail lights come on with the headlights, since they may share the instrument-light circuit and a short could be the cause. If the tail lights work, remove the instrument panel and replace the blown panel bulbs.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1994 Isuzu Rodeo says the headlights work, but the interior instrument lights do not. A fuse check did not help, and the dimmer was already turned up. An expert says the instrument-panel bulbs have likely blown and the panel must be removed to replace them. Another user recommends checking the tail lights first because they share the circuit and a short caused the same symptom.
