Hi,

I have the same problem. Mine is caused by the stereo system which messed up the whole electical. I am trying to find out how to fix it. Can you tell me where I could locate the fuses for the gauges lights? Are they on the same one as the headlights - my left headlight went down yesterday and does not want to power up, I changed the bulbs but still no effect

RE: HELP WITH 96 ECLIPSE LIGHTING PROBLEMS
 

there are 2 places to check the fuses. one is under the hood its clearly mark what fuse is to what.the second is on the driver side by your left foot it also will tell you what fuse is to what,check them all.

then start were you have power and work your way forward

I just checked the fuses. They both seem in working conditions. When I moved them in and out I fixed the headlights problem so I guess there was a loose fuse for that problem. Still trying to find out what the problem with the gauges is - could the lighting bulb of the gauges be damaged and do you know where it is located?

Thanks,

Svetlin

the bulbs for the gauges are on the back of the gauge cluster you will have to take it out to change them.

its very improbable that all the lights for the guages went out at the same time.....its a problem somewhere else guaranteed
