Dashboard lights and gauges not working

[Bobthebuilder]

Hi. I wonder if anyone can help. I started my car up as normal today but I have no dashboard lights working and none of the gauges are working but the car runs fine. Anyone got any ideas

check your fuses. (the ones inside the car)
dash and tail lights are on the same fuse. (So you know somethings wrong)

Thanks mate. I've just checked them and you were right. A blown fuse. Didn't think the whole dashboard would have been on one fuse

It`s a safety thing.
A foolproof way of telling you that your tail lights are out.

Though not many people know it...
