Default Instrument Cluster

Hey guys, my entire instrument cluster is no longer lighting up. I had to make a beer run last night got in, turned my lights on, and the cluster did not light up, I highly doubt every single bulb went out all at once, I took the dash off looked around for any disconnected wires, I have no idea what I am doing. We are looking at a regular old 97 cherokee. Any tips or suggestions are insanely appreciated, Thanks in advance

Check the taillights and that fuse. Once I was scratching my head wondering why my dash lights were out at 5 AM. At 10PM I got DUI'd, mostly because I was really tired. (and had no talelights!)

A bad ground wont blow a fuse. Mine was a short on a trailer the day before. Keep an eye on it! Glad you got it.
