Illumination behind the gauges doesn't light up. I have headlights, turn signal and radio all work just fine.
At this point just trying to pick a few brains to see if anyone else has had this problem

Sorry, I didn't give enough explanation I figured everyone would get it when I said "No Dash" lights.

I take it illumination for the HVAC controls works fine? If so, I'd start by popping out the gauge cluster and cleaning the connector both on the cluster and inside the dash. Electrical contact cleaner spray and a brass wire brush. Tweak the socket-side of the assembly so the little tabs grab the blades easier and put it back together.

Negative. The leaf pivots on the front eye. The rear eye has no choice but to go down and forward.

Ive got a sound that most closely resembles putting a baseball card on your bike spokes coming from somewhere near either my front or rear drivers side wheel I can hear it when driving at lower speeds with the windows down. Has anyone had this/any ideas as to what it is? Thanks
