lost dash backlights

Post by fil »

got in my car this mourning and turned the lights on (damm 6:30 starts) head lights fired up but the lights that iluminated the dash didnt. All the gauges and other lights work eg fuel warning and hand brake. My clock dosnt dimm either.
Does anyone have any ideas

with the clock it might be a fuse...dunno about other dash lights...maybe something has shorted them out.

worked out that it was the fuse that controls the left tail light
have a feeling my stereo may have shorted it
