Default More problems.. joy.

So I was driving tonight and halfway through my cruise I noticed the lights on my switch gauges disappeared. Not the speedo and tac, but the whole setup right above the shifter. The guages, the radio, and the AC/heater lights all went out. I didn't notice it right away, so I don't know what caused it, but is there a way to check what's wrong without ripping apart the dashboard? The switches all still work perfectly, and the LEDs on the heater still work, but everything else is dark on it. Any ideas?

Check the fuses? Sometimes old (22 years) fuses will give up the ghost. If not that, start check the grounds.

Yeah, it was fuse. Stupid me for not checking those before posting; I had to run to the gas station to get some. Kind of weird that a fuse would blow for no reason.. oh well.
