MORE problems - dash lights don't work

Turned the car on, turned my lights on out of habit, and no gauge/climate control/etc lights.. What could have happened? I checked the "Instruments" fuse, it's good.. What the hell could have happened? They worked fine the other ngiht..

Turn the knob on the lower front of the dash that dims the dash lights. Can't recall if it's on the right or left of the steering column.

Check the dimmer first.

If no go, check the positive wires from the battery - make sure they are all connected and tight, otherwise, it would be your Ignition switch

Could be a short in the circuit board on the back of the instrument cluster. This was recently covered here & on the Rennlist 944 forum. Do a seach on dash and Z-man - should get you there.
