Hi, so i recently purchased a 2001 Honda Civic Lx Coupe and I noticed that the gauge lights don’t turn on when I turn on my light switch... my stock radio illuminates, my climate controls illuminate and my headlights turn on. The dimmer is all the way up! and yes it does work. Everything on my cluster works except the actual gauges themselves don’t light up (RPM, Temperature, Speed, and Gas Level). I’ve checked my fuses (but I’m always up for double checking) they seem fine, both inside the cabin and under the hood. Is it the bulbs ? I will be installing an after market headunit shortly after I post this so please take that into consideration when trying to answer my question. Also my “D” is out. I’m in need of help.

Previous owner may have had an aftermarket audio unit and fried some circuits connecting the illumination wire. If you are installing an aftermarket radio don't connect the illumination wire.
You can check wire harnesses for poor connections and for faulty bulbs in the gauge assembly.
Check the #4 (10 A) fuse in the Under-Dash Fuse/Relay Box and #2 (15 A) and #9 (10 A) in the Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box.

Thank you! I’ll be trying this today. I will be replying back if nothing has worked.
