when I bought the car it had no lights behind the speedometer...tired of guessing speed at night...sure there is a simple fix...that even a stupid girl can fix? I have been told that it is a blown fuse, but I do not own a book for it and don't know where they are located or what kind I need to buy to replace it...I would like to fix it myself without having to ask my Dad or any other male..being they think a girl never should have bought this car...thank you for any help you can give!!

If the other instrument lamps work, I don't think it is a fuse? If none of your dash lites work, you can try rotating the dimmer? I'd probably have to remove the instrument cluster and take a look.

If you want to check fuse, anyway, check fuse 37--5 amp. The location of fuse box is in diagram.
