My wifes 2008 Avengers dash lights went out yesterday. Already checked to make sure the dial on the staff wasn't turned down. Can't figure out which fuse runs those lights to see if it has burned out. Please help

The dash lights are powered by or thru the body computer. The headlight switch and dash dimmer switch signal the body computer to power the dash lights.
You may need a shop manual to get the wiring diagrams necessary to troubleshoot the circuit.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the advice. They just came back on by themself."

SOURCE: 1992 Buick Century tail & dask lights went out - blow fuses

I would imagine the mechanic checked the fuses, so i would say it has a bad headlight switch or the power feed to it.

SOURCE: Taillights are not working

check for voltage in the socket. positive is the center connection. if you have no voltage there, then you may be right. Make sure that you check the wires.

First thing to check out is the fuse box located underneath the drivers side steering wheel. Flip over the fuse box cover lid and you will find a diagram. Replace the instrument cluster fuse with the same number fuse. Next, make sure your dimmer switch is turned all the way up to MAX. If your cluster lights are still not coming on after the fuse is replaced and dimmer switch is turned up then you will need to replace the dimmer switch and/or remove the instrument cluster and replace the little light bulbs in the back of the cluster unit.

Will not start

cam or crank sensor or the ground wire from the battery to the body. Cam and crank sensor will cause the no start but the clicking sounds
leads me to believe the little wire running from your battery ground is
most likely the cause. if all else the altenator is no longer working and that can go any time

Dim dash lights

Check your owners manual. There must be a way to dim the dash lights. Should be a dial or a knob somewhere.

Dash light will not come on. I figure bulb needs replacing. where located and how to get to?

there is more than one bulb that lights the dash. very rare that all burn out at the same time. Check to make sure the dash light dimmer control is not turned all the way down. check all the fuses. If those are all ok it is most likley the dimmer control has went out. The dash light dimmer control on these modles have had alot of problems. I have replaced several for the problem you are having.

Could be bad battery or Somthing going on with the main fuse box.  Another thing to check is your ground wires.  If they are loose, you can not complete the circut.
