Did you check the fuses already?
Under the steering column and I think theres another fuse for those lights in the fuse box under the hood. Or maybe that's just for the head unit.

Maybe you just have a bad ground :thumb:

#222744 i had dis problem about 2 weeks ago and to me i think it was due 2 my audio system den when i took it out of my car n popped out the dimmer switch n disconnected it n plugged it back up later on that night going home from work i turned on my headlights n my dash n climate controls all lit up i was so happy, but i did take some of the advice,i checked everything i have read in recent forums n it worked for me.

#222900 if its your dimmer switch theres a few things you can do
you can unplug the dimmer swith and cut the 2 outside wires on the plug there should only be three and connect them together
or you can run a jumper wire between the 2 so you dont have to cut anything

thats if the dimmer switch is bad if its a lose ground i would guess that it is the single ground wire behind the cluster it comes lose pretty easy

or it could be bad bulbs you know these cars are over 15 years old lol

or fuses

#232579 Hey I have no cluster or climate control lights also but mine happened after I did an LED relighting for the gauges. One of my leds burnt up and melted down. I am going to check the ground and dimmer to see if that fixes it. All of the other connections I have looked at look fine so here is to hoping that it works
