Panel lights not lighting up - 1998 Chrysler Sebring

Your panel lights will come on when you turn your lights on. So if your dash lights come on, then the panel light should be. Remove the panel and change the bulb.

No 7 fuse 20 Amp tail lights ,parking lights, side marker lights,
license plate lights, stop lights and turn signal lights
No10-20amp ( yellow) stop lights hazard lights
located behind right side of dash to left of glove box
check all the fuse

There is no relay for the instrument panel. The dash lights and interior lights have fuses. The instrument panel itself is illuminated by the Central Power Module.

The heater control panel is sealed so you can not access the lights. They simply go out and you have to replace the panel to get lights back.

You need to get you alternator tested, it sounds like the current output is too low.

The fuse panel for the interior lights is located inside the vehicle. The diagram is located on the fuse panel cover . When you pull the cover off you'll see it inside the cover .

Hi 1987 Honda Civic lihgts on instrument panel. New Battery. and replaced blower unit but lights on panel not working. I am yet to install stereo unit which was taken out by previous owner - very roughly ! Wondering if not having stereo will effect instrument panel lights. Cheers Steve

I'm not sure what year you have but this color code works for 87-93 mustangs.

Hope this helps.

Check 2 fuses. Instument lights / panel and also the brake light fuse. Sometimes the brake light fuse blows and you have no dash lights.

The instrument panel lights staying on usually means the dimmer switch is bad (round knob next to steering column movement switch) You can usually turn the knob to a lower position and this will solve the battery issue.
