My speedometer lights won't come on when I turn the headlamps on. Idk if it's a bused fuse or a broke bulb. My other lights work. Can someone tell me what to do?

The first thing that I would check would be the fuse. That is about a $2 fix. Check your owners manual to find out which fuse is for dash lights. Then pull the fuse and see if it is blown. The fuse panel is located on the left side of your dash. You have to open your drivers door to see it. (I'm assuming you have a F-150 because you didn't say in your post)

Yeah I do. If its not the fuse what else could it be?

It's possible that all of the bulbs are blown but that is rare since there are several bulbs. It could be a loose/ broken/ burned wire, bad relay, gremlins. Start with the easy and cheap fixes and go from there.

ALL of my lights were burnt out for every single gauge! It's possible haha

Wait... Are all of your dash lights out or just the speedometer light?

Tyler that is just bad luck. I did have a Jeep that had only one bulb that worked. Can I say Jeep on this site? Lol

It sounds like a bulb. I had that problem with my truck. All the lights were lit except my gauges, it turned out to be just a bulb. I replaced it and it's fine now. Try that first, it's the cheapest.

Haha yea got my truck used and the guy who had it before me I've come to find out was an idiot so who knows why it was like that
