Instrument Panel lights problem
when i took back the car from repairing last time, all the rights at Instrument Panel, switches and gear shift are gone. it's unlikely all the bulbs ran out at the same time, so my guess is some cable or switches that provide power to those bulbs are not properly connected. could anyone tell me where these cables is? thanks alot.

Check out the 10 amp fuse in the fuse box under the hood. I do believe its labeled "Lights" or something obvious like that. Its the red one two spots down from the far left.
If your marker lights arent coming on either, this is likely the problem

The 10A fuse "Illumination Brightness Control" is the #9 fuse (Middle row, second fuse from the left) in the fuse panel under the dash above the driver's kick panel. NOT in the engine compartment. Check your Owner's manual, Section 10-6 to 10-8.
The only 10A fuse in the fuse box under the hood is for the clock. Here is the diagram of the engine compartment fuse box. .

did a search in the forum for this problem, seems to be a wire problem. and i still remember last time they did a mechanical check and replaced one of the headlight bulbs, and when i got back the car, the clock has been reset. so my guess is they could pull out some wires and install them back improperly.

I have had the exact same problem on my car!! Trust me the wiring is fine and so are your switches, along with the bulbs. I found that certain types of fuses blew and didn't. The type that looks like a "Z" blew in the corners of the bends, making first glance very frustrating. Try going to the fuses that have a "arch" in the middle.
