Both check engine lights came on, the bigger one just to the left of the center of the display panel and the very small one to the far right, with an arrow pointing down in the middle, the engine deccelerating to about 40mph(I was going ~70mph for about 45 minutes) and just totally unresponsive. I could gradually get the speed up to about 55mph, but it was very sluggish. I made it home and when I tried starting the next day, started right away, but both check engine lights were still on. I did not try to drive it.

'95 Lincoln town car. Husband was driving uphill and the digital dash suddenly went dark. Radio is working and a/c is not. Exterior light still working and so are interior lights besides the dash

Could be a bad wire possibly chaffing or grounding out to to another wire or frame. Check your fuses. You may want to pull the dash out and check that wiring as well

Where is the radio fuse on a 1995 camry? I do not see a fuse box under dash.

1.Answer It is a 15A fuse (#24), located in the instrument panel fuse box (behind the small fold out draw on lower the left side of dash board. Left of the steering wheel). It is the far right fuse on the middle row.

2. I had the same problem when my dome light went off. When I pulled its blown fuse, the radio went out. The radio fuse was fine, but when I replaced the dome light fuse, the radio came back on again. The dome light fuse is a 20A in the fuse box under the hood next to the battery.

3.there is on fuse in the back of the radio itself

My check engene light bulb is out, and i need to replace ot before my inspection... Need to know where the bulb is loacted to replace?

The check engine light is located in the message center right above the instrument cluster. To remove it you will need to jest remove the a pillar trim. Those are the plastic pieces that run from the ceiling down to the dash on both sides. Then you will need to remove the upper dash pannel. It is held in by clips. Gently pry up and it will start to release the clips. Once the upper dash panel is out you will see the screws that hold the message center in place. Remove the screws, remove the message center, and replace the bulbs. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Where is the instrument panel fuse block located?

under the glove box, you'll set a panel with 2 plastic pressure pins. using a pair of pliers, just pull from the center and remove both of them. the entire panel will be free, and the fuse block is on the far right side, (closest to the passenger door) you'll need a good light and small hands....the engineers did NOT give you a lot of room in there!

I just purchased my 2005 scion xb and the tail lights and speedometer don't light. no manual so i can't tell where the fuses are

All the fuses are in a panel on the far left lower side of the dash. There is a small handle, pull that panel out and the fuse box is right behind it.
