Why not check every fuse in the fuse panel in 5 minutes or less, without pulling a single fuse out to inspect it? You can do it with a cheap test light, and even tell if the fuse panel is powered, too.

All fuses have two little test ports on the plastic top of the fuse, one at each end of the fuse. They can be used to tell if a fuse is good or blown. The little ports are open to the metal strip inside the fuse, the strip that snaps apart when the fuse blows.

Hook up a test light by clipping the ground lead to a metal bracket or a bolt or screw by the fuse panel. Turn the key to on, not start. Now every fuse in the fuse panel should be powered. Pick a fuse and touch the test light probe into the little test port on the fuse, either side. Test light should light. If not, either the ground clip for tester is not secure, or the fuse panel is not getting power to that fuse as it should with the key on, or you just happened to pick a blown fuse. Move tester probe to other end of fuse and see if power there. Keep on until your tester lights up when touching the little port on the fuse.
Got it? Okay, now with every fuse, you need to touch tester to both ends of fuse to verify a good fuse. Key is on, all fuses are powered up, so even a blown fuse will light the tester on one end of fuse. A good fuse will light the tester on both ends of the fuse-the metal strip inside has not snapped apart-good fuse.

You can use this method to check every fuse on a car without pulling the fuse out to check. And you will find out if any part of the panel is not powered up. Test lights are very handy. You could check every fuse quicker than it took me to explain this!

I would start by checking if the under dash fuse panel is getting power to all the fuses. A few will be hot at all times (like the brake light fuse, horn fuse), but with key on, all fuses in the fuse panel should have power available to them.
Use a test light, clip the ground clip to a metal bracket, and use the test light probe to touch the fuses at the ends-the little indents on top of fuse is open to the metal strip in the fuse. When the probe touches that strip, the test light should light, meaning power is getting to the fuses. No light? Maybe not grounded good-keep trying until you get a light when touching the fuses through that little **** at top of fuse. When you have a good ground, check all fuses. With key on, all fuses should have power-now you can check the radio fuse and dash fuse.

You can do this also to check for a blown fuse. Even a blown fuse will light the tester on one end of fuse. A good fuse will light tester on both ends of fuse. A blown fuse will only light tester on one end. You can check fuses this way without pulling the fuse out to inspect.
If no power to the fuse panel or to part of the panel, look for a bad fusible link or maxi fuse that distributes power to the fuse panel. There may also be a relay (ignition relay) that the key switch turns on to send power to the fuses that are hot in accessory or run.

Also check your main fuses, in the separate fuse box within the engine bay area.

it could be a blown fuse, you may find that the HIGH & LOW beam lights are on separate fuses the back & panel lights could be on the same fuse as the LOW beam or they may have there own fuse,check the fuses in the fuse box........hope this helps......cheers.

If it only the panel light it would not be a fuse, There are normally other curcuits on the panel light fuse, like the tail lights. If those are out check the fuses. The fuse must be in the main fuse box. The position and function of the fuses is normally marked on the inside of the fuse box cover and also in the owner's handbook. If you don't come right with these, work your way through the fuses looking for a blown one. To ease your search the panel/tail light fuse it should be around 15 to 20 amps.

Open the fuse panel located to the left hand side of the instrument panel. Locate the fuses numbered "3," "7," and "21." The "3" fuse is the left-hand stop light fuse, "7" is the right-hand stop light fuse and "21" is the hazard light fuse. Replace any of the fuses if the metal inside the fuse is broken. The "3" and "7" both use 7.5 A fuses and the "21" uses a 15 A fuse. Use your index finger and thumb to remove and replace the fuse. Close the fuse panel. If your lights are still malfunctioning, the wiring should be checked.

The fuse panel for the interior lights is located inside the vehicle. The diagram is located on the fuse panel cover . When you pull the cover off you'll see it inside the cover .

Yes, it's a fuse. The dash panel lights and the tail lights are on the same fuse. It's hard to say where the fuse may be located as some same model vehicles have fuse panels in different locations, However, check the internal panel which is inside the facia trim or behind the right hand kick panel. Check another fuse panel under the hood which has a black plastic cover. When checking fuses, always check them electrically with a test probe. You can buy a test probe from your local car parts and accessories store for a small sum, maybe a couple of bucks. Clip the ground clip to a good earth on the body and touch the tip of the probe to the test port on each and every fuse in the panel. If it lights up on both ends, the fuse is good, if it does not light up at all, that fuse does not have power (maybe a brake lamp or wiper motor fuse) and if a fuse only lights up at one end, then that fuse is faulty and should be replaced. Only even replace a fuse with one OF THE SAME RATING or lower, NEVER go higher. If the fuse fails again in the near future or immediately, check the circuit for grounded wires and terminals and check the trailer light connector at the back (if fitted) as these are the usual culprits..

Check 2 fuses. Instument lights / panel and also the brake light fuse. Sometimes the brake light fuse blows and you have no dash lights.
