The screen located on the tachometer that would show mileage, error codes, door ajar, is dead. I looked at some fuses and they are all fine. I did the hold reset button and it still did not come on. Where is the specific fuse for it or would I just have to replace a bulb or something? I would have just replace the whole dash, but I want to make sure it wont happen again.
