Gauges work but no lights on dash board and radio does not work

Need to know make, model an year vehicle to answer that .

your control module is faulty..

w/out amplifier; dome, and Cig. hint if you cigarette lighter is working and your dome light is working ,the problem is not fuse is the radio.

With amplifier. Amp, Cig, and Dome; again if cigarette lighter and dome light and amp fuse is good then amplifier is bad, or Radio is bad the only hint in this one is that the amplifier control sound if radio has ilumination then the amplifier could be the cause.

All this fuses are located by the lower left side of the steering column.

I am nearly positive that this model has an additional fuse block under the hood. Look on the driver's side of the engine compartment.

It is a 15 amp dome fuse. Located in the cabin. It controls clock, radio, door/headlight chimes, dome lights, power locks, security remote

Is there an off switch for the dome light? I'm guessing it'll be one of the switches that tells the sensor that your doors are closed and turns off the light.. switch will be on the frame of the car near the latch anchor.

If the lighter sparked, there may be a short (exposed wire) behind the lighter assembly. You may want to remove the lighter harness and check the wires.

It sounds like the dial that controls the direction of the air is not functioning properly. There's also a flap / pivot inside the vent assembly just above the blower (located in dash usually behind glove compartment) that controls which pipe the air goes into.

check the fuseable links at the solenoid for power both ends,maybe replace the headlight switch

Hello and welcome to FixYa . Locate the dial that controls the brightness of the dashboardlights. If the control is not immediately evident. Make sure the brightness control is turned on. If it is and the lights aren't working, the problem may be a bad fuse. Check the fuse that controls the dashboard lights Replace the fuse if necessary. If just one part of the instrument panel is not lighting up, then you have either a burned-out bulb or a wiring problem.

This should get you going. And you can always Ask Me.

The 15 amp dome fuse is in the fuse box under the hood and the 15 amp CIG fuse is in the lower finish panel up under the dash on the drivers side. These are needed for the radio. The above fuses plus the 15 amp Gauge fuse in the box with the dome fuse under the hood are needed for the clock.

I also have clock removal instructions at my website www.autoclockrepair.com
