2003 Toyota tacoma Instrument cluster light issues?

Answer 1

I had the same issues with my 03 Tacoma. Once I checked all fuses, I assumed I had a broken wire somewhere in the circuit going to the gauges. In my situation, my park lights outside my headlights weren't working either. After taking out the park lights, I realized the problem was only blown bulbs. Then I disassembled the dash and took out the gauge cluster, and to my surprise all the bulbs were blown that illuminated the gauges. The other smaller bulbs for turn signal arrows, fuel light, and all others were working. Just not the backlighting. This is quite weird since all the bulbs were blown and I didn't expect that. So you may want to take out your cluster and simply check the bulbs if you do not have any fuses blown under the dash or hood.
