Default Dash Lights Not Working!
I have a 1996 Honda Civic Hatch.. The Dash lights aren't working.. Speedometer and all work fine, but is not lit up..

Fuse maybe?!

Any help would be greatly appreciated it! Thanks!

Just look on the cover for your fuse panel inside the car and it will tell you which fuse goes to dash lights etc.

Oh okay thanks! Yeah I was confused because the speedometer is working, just not lit up.. But all my lights and everything is working (headlights, etc.)

Thanks for the response!

The illumination circuit for the cluster is completely separate from the circuits that supply power to the gauges.

Just because circuit B is working, doesn't mean circuit A is too.

Did you check the fuse? Fuse box diagram, looks like you'll want to check fuse #30 under your dash. I don't have/never had a Civic so I can't tell you where the box is, but it should be pretty obvious
