It could be one of two things: This is a factory setting to focus your attention on the road and not the dash. Possibly the high beams are drawing too much power from the alternator.

Where is the fuel gauge fuse located on a 1993 Dodge Dakota?

I'm pretty sure there isn't a fuse for the fuel gauge. There is a 4 amp fuse (#12 probably) for the instrument cluster lighting, and a 5 amp fuse (#13) for the low fuel indicator (shared with the other warning lights). That's about all that's any relation to the fuel gauge.


What does the instrument cluster do?

Cluster means all the gauges and warning lights on a vehicle i.e. fuel gauge,temp gauge speedometer, odometer, oil pressure warning lights etc.

How do you turn your bright lights on a 1994 gmc sonoma?

You pull your turn signal lever towards you, and you should hear a click. Make sure your truck is on. When you have done that you will see a blue light in the middle of your speedometer and RPM gauge. It is a picture of a light with beams coming off the light. That is how you know that you have turned them on.
