 For no apparent reason, my entire gauge cluster lights, a/c & air control knob lights, and the light for the shifter all stopped working. also, my trip odometer does not function either. i checked the fuse panel located on the left of the steering wheel and noticed i wasn't missing any of them & none went bad either. what else could be causing this to happen? obviously it's an electrical problem of some sort.
