My dash light (instrument illumination, whatever) is out. I have checked the fuses and they are all good. No other problems. Can anybody give me some directions on how to fix/replace it? 86 Civic.

Thanks in advance.

try the dimmer.. pull it out and wiggle the connecter behind it, had the same problem with my civic.

btw, i meant 88 civic dx. my bad. dimmer switch didnt work. Thanks though.

there should be screws around the cluster, take out the cluster, remove the harnesses, pull it out and check the bulbs, their twist offs.

you may want to go ahead and replace the whole cluster. Its not that expensive for that year civic.

uh... what do you mwan by cluster? how much is not expensive?

The Gauge cluster is the whole section with the speedometer, odometer, gas gauge, water temp, and rpm. If you check on ebay you may be able to get one for around 30-40 bucks.

try the swich that turns on the light that happend to me and I changed that and it was fixed
