got a problem with interior lights (guages and ac)

I've been removing the dash and door panels and other things latley and after doing this my guages, ac, and ambiant lights don't work. All my regular interior lights like my dome and doors work fine. I've checked all wires and everything seems to be hooked up fine. The only thing that is lit on my guages is the mileage and temp area. Anybody know what I could try to check. Thanks for any kind of help, it's hasn't been fun driving at night guessing how fast I'm going.

Try checking the fuses in the dash on the drivers side. If they seem fine, maybe the bulb just burnt out

Good luck

its most likely the fuse... it won't be the bulb necessarily because the instrument cluster has about 50 different little bulbs in there.. 1 bulb for each of those lit icons, and i beliebe 1-2 bulbs per display panel in the cluster.... GL

hey thanks, the #9 fuse was blown and its hard to tell in the daylight but I think that was it. I kind of feel dumb that I check that. Got to love these boards. I think one of my led lights is blown, does anyone know about what i should pay for one?
