Has the rheostat been turn down inadvertantly?
Check the panel light fuse...#8 in the left fuse box. If the fuse is OK...including no corrosion on the end caps ir clips....remove the wires from the back of the rheostat and jump them together. Report back if no change

Unplug the wires from the rheostat and join them together with another piece of wire. You may have to remove the wood panel to do this.....depending on your dexterity in working thru the trip computer hole :-).

rheostat
i think i got it doug.
i wound up taking the front panel off (very easy to remove by the way) and noticed only one wire hooked up...i popped the other on and hopefully problem solved... the tough part is i have to wait a few hours to find out if im winning b/c its probably the brightest day ever here in central jersey and i can t tell if the gages are illuminated.
