R33 Dash Lights Stopped Working

[insty]

Hi, SAU.

Seems that my dash cluster lights have stopped working.

To be more specific, the lights that sit behind the odometer, tacho, speedo aren't powering up.

I have tried adjusting the dimmer and that isn't doing anything either.

The general lights in that part of the dash like the oil light, gear lights (auto) are all working fine.

Hoping that someone might of come across this issue and have found a way to fix it.

Any help would be great, pain to drive around at night

I assume you've checked the fuses already?

Fuses under the dash are all in working order.

Problem solved, dimmer was the issue.

Now removed

i have the same problem after replacing the bumb with LEDs. i believe i have shorted something. Can i know where is the dimmer?

My one is located under the dash. I believe my one is not factory fitted.

thanks. i just looked everywhere and i couldn't find mine. It appears so that it is not a requirement in my country to fit a dimmer (thats why i was like wth is a dimmer?!).

I have this exact same problem but on a r32 dont know where the dimmer(or what that is) and would like to know how to fix this problem.

i dont know if this will help you but on my r33 there is a 3amp fuse to the side of all the main fuses thats responsible for the dash lights, 3amp blade fuses are purple in color

i had it fixed. It appears that the fuse to the dash is the same fuse to your backlight. The fuse is at the back of your car, replaced it and works now(how can i be so stupid, wait nissan is stupid, the dash fuse is nto in the dash at all but at the back of the car?wtf)

ye it's really stupid

the same fuse goes to ur parkers, indicators, interior ilumination(climate control, dash, cluster, etc), tail lights.
