Depends. Is it actually a bulb or is it an LED model? What brand/model is it?

what isnt lighting up, the backlight, or the actual AF part itsself. If its the actual AF part then its probably a wiring issue

If it's an LED backlit guage then it's either a bum LED or a broken connection or a miswired guage. If it's a bulb then just replace the bulb. I would suggest either calling or writing to the manufacturer and getting the instructions on that one. My guages are all LED backlit and tinted.
