Default Dash Lights Out

I searched and found nothing

I just installed a Double DIN about a month ago and now my dash lights just went out... no fuses blown inside or in the engine bay... Any idea whats going on?

You blew a fuse. I blew one when installing my Double Din as well. Check the fuses next to the clutch. I think the one that I blew that control the dash lights was called 'mirror'.

How about the fuses by the battery? did you check those? Are you sure you hooked up ALL the harnesses that you disconnected to remove the center stack finisher, including the one for your 3-guage pod?

I just looked at my fuses and the one that I blew was 'Mirror'. Change that one out regardless of whether it looks blown are not(sometimes they dont look blown). When I blew that fuse my dash did not light up and I was shitting bricks because I thought I really ****ed something up. Replace the fuse and dash lite back up.

The last reply to this thread was back in 2014 .. but sometimes worth bringing an old thread back to life. Last night I noticed my instrument lights were out .. speedo, rpm, three gauges. I did a quick check of the fuses and did not find one blown but know sometimes they look good and are not so .. .found this thread. Google is a good thing I guess. .. so .. hopefully the "mirror" fuse is bad whether it appears good or not and replacing it will fix everything.
