Default Help! ODO light blacked out!
So I was just driving home on the free way today when all of a sudden, the lights on my cluster just blacked out, I couldn't see how fast I was going or anything else that's on the dash. However When I turned off my low beam lights, the lights on the cluster turned back on, It only turns off when I turn back on my low beam. Anyone else had this problem before? Please help.

Check your "dash" fuse by your foot brake fuse box

Dash fuse might be bad.

My car does this too but only when the **** is turned all the way down. Check to see which way the **** ThomasGS4 mentioned is turned.

Could be your alternator too, usually the cluster will dim and then go out.

Does it light up when you start your car during the day?
