First guess: dimmer switch. Mine burnt out once and I lost all my dash lights. It sucked.

Checked the fuses I am supposing.

Stat with checking the dimmer switch since it's easy. What about the other lights (the center console)? They are all on the same power line.

Dimmer switch check first, If I put my dimmer switch all the way to high position it flickers on and off.

Old pic of the fuse box under the steering wheel, don't think there is one.

Nope, the switch itself goes out. It sucks, and I would have never have known if it wasn't for a nissan machanic telling me that I should replace the switch. I did, and BAM, it worked again.

I'm back at work in Antarctica for the season. If you need anything I am selling or a step-down harness please be patient as we do not get access to the internet often.

If you’re curious about the field camp I'm at this year Google "Pine Island Glacier" or check out the weather cams we have set up there (Cam A & Cam B). Yes, I know its nothing but snow and flat white, welcome to my world...
