2002 4Runner SR5

The instrument panel lights (only the tach and speedo) are not working. I verified all the fuses were good. My tail lights are working. Also the license plate lights are not working.

Most logical would be a fuse but all are good.

Anybody had this issue.

Thanks

 

Burned out bulbs? A trailer wiring kit doing weird things? You checked fuses under the hood and the in-cabin driver side fuse box fuses for continuity? Sometimes a visual inspection does not reveal a bad fuse.

 

Yeah used a meter to verify the fuses. Could be burned out bulbs but all at once seems odd. I was hooked up to a trailer recently but all of those lights seemed to be working properly. I will verify that again though.

 

Does rheostat bring other lights up and down? If not, investigate a possible problem there. Our trucks are at the age where those things start to go.

 

That is working as it should.

 

Looks like it might be all the bulbs burned out. Pulled the 2 for the license plate and both burned out and 12 volts in the socket. Have'nt had a chance to open up the dash yet but I will have bulbs on hand.

Wonder if it took a surge somehow.
