Can someone please tell me what might be wrong.
My instrument panel does not light up.. I’ve changed the fuse, all the bulbs and still no lights

It might be a bad fuse or a bad headlight switch. There is a spring like piece in the headlight switch that may be bad? Do you have the headlight switch control knob turned up all the way? It controls the dim or bright of your instrument cluster lights. Just some suggestions to check on.
Let us know what you find out!

Regards

Yes I did turn the knob all the way. And I did buy a new switch but I guess it could be bad. Also I did try two different fuses still no luck.
Thank you for the reply

The list of "what might be wrong" is endless. It's time to get a test light and the wiring diagram and see where voltage should be and where it isn't. It's a very simple circuit and it should only take a few minutes to pinpoint the problem and learn a thing or two in the process.

not sure about this but I think if the tail light fuse is bad, it also kills the instrument panel lights as a warning. just a thought

It's possible that you have corroded fuse contacts in the fuse block.

Found the problem it was a broken wire in the printed circuit board.
Thanks to everybody
