Check the wiring film on the back of the dash/instrument pod/ dail housing/dail binical. Some of the filaments might have burnt out or broken,causing your lights to fail. If all intact give all the plug/connecters a clean and make sure they\'re all secure. The dash pulls straight towards you and needs a good pull to clear it.Don\'t pull too hard as the wiring is short. Best to remove the steering wheel as well.:)

And you have definately tried a new fuse in the drivers footwell location for this?
Does sound like fuse as the same one went on mine and exact same things affected???
Do you have the manual and fuse layout?
Keep updated if not I\'ll be thinking of other things it could be.:confused:

Well then it sounds like there is a problem within that circuit. If you put a bulb instead of the fuse in there does the bulb light up or is there not a circuit?
If bulb does not light up could be a bad connection on fuse box itself so try reading resistance between that and go from there.
Strange one really do you want a manual on CD might help?
or have a look here too for more information:
