Gauge cluster doesn't light up

[SidewayZ-s14]

Just went to move my car out front and the gauge cluster lights have decided to stop working. I'm a n00b when it comes to this electrical stuff lol.

I've got a 95 240.

Is the fuse for this located on the driver side kick panel?

EDIT:
My tailights are also out! WTF is going on! lol

I checked every fuse under the hood and driver side kick panel....They are all GOOD. Whats going on here?

TCU unit might be bad.

TCU unit might be bad.

I have no idea what that is. :naw:

Okay, I also am waiting for a response. The past few weeks my tail lights and dash guages have been going in and out. I changed some bulbs and my brake lights come on, but no running lights come on in the rear. Turn signals work fine, but when they are on it dims my brake lights. My fuses seem to all be fine. What's next?

You can bypass that white box just by grounding a wire that's in the stereo harness?

I need help lol.

I've checked the radio harness for loose or exposed wires....nothing.
Anyone else have any other ideas? This is driving me insane.

You need to replace your Headlight Turn Signal Switch...

You really need to inspect the TCU unit it's on the Driver side kick panel. However I'm not totally sure if its the same as the S13. GL!

I need to replace my headlight turn signals switch as well LOL!
I tried taking my out today to inspect it and just owned it!

Through it in the trash that's how bad it is. Now i can't drive my car at night period....

FML!

[SidewayZ-s14]

Where are the fuses for the gauge cluster/running lights?!

[RacerX1]

Should be under the driver side kick panel.
Replace your dimmer switch as well.

YAY! I fixed it!
So my tail lamp fuse kept popping. I finally remembered i did some hackjob install with the JDM kouki turn signals. One of the wires was touching radiator support causing it to short. Tapped that wire up and replaced the 10a fuse! Works like a charm.
