gauges not lighting up????

since 2 days ago whenever i turn on my lights the gauges dont light up. i checked to see if it could be a fuse but they are alright, and nothing else seems to be disfunctioning. so i would like to know if this has happened to anyone else or what could i do to check what is causing this ???????? thanxs alot

You didn't happen to have hit the illumination dial by accident, have you? be sure that's turned up

So your parking lights are still working? On my car there is a relay that controls the gauge illumination and parking lights, perhaps there is something funky with that.

well, i doubt all the bulbs blew at once....so

As Chastan said, check the dimmer dial, if that checks out, the internals of it may have blown, that will kill all dash lights, but retain exterior lighting.

double check all fuses and test dimmer switch with a multimeter.
