The small lights fuse is #2 in the under hood fuse box (not under dash)

Be sure to check any recent head unit installations. If you cook out the dimmer unit you will need some serious $$ to repair.

i checked the #2 fuse, the fuse is connected to the parking lights, those arent out and the fuse isnt blown. my gauge cluster still dims so i dont think it could be the dimmer and my deck still lights up and dims and so does the window switch on the drivers side.

i had the same problem when i installed my deck. only one illumination wire is supposed to be connected, i think its the orange one wih the white line. also check fuse #2 under the hood, and replace.

All of the dimmable lamps wiring is RED/BLK & RED. Red/Blk is hot and red is the ground through the dimming circuit rheostat.

PM with E-Mail and I will send the 03 info that I have showing the wiring.

ya we do not have a dimmer wire so if you somehow ended up connecting that, you fried the dash lights for good.
