Ok so i have asked this question before,but never really got a answer that might help me,so ill try it again.My gas light wont come on.none of those lights come on.my fuses are good,its plugged into the back of it where all the bulbs go,i checked the bulbs when i did my heater core,and looked ok,hard to tell there so small.i have owned the car for 7 years and it has never worked.the kid who had it before me had alot of stuff unplugged door charm etc etc.there are a few plugs unplugged by my drvrs side kick panel big and small.1 on the left side of the radio and 2 on the pass side of the radio,i think those 2 are for the orig wires for the radio?.and 1 other harness by the drivers side radio that is all cut.no end on it at all.i checked in the trunk making sure all the wires going dwn to the tank werent cut up or anything.noticed off the harness in the trunk there is 1 plug attached to the harneess that goes nowhere?..anyone have any ideas what it could be?or what i can check for,i just like to have all my stuff working properly.thanks whoever can help.

shine a flashlight throught the lense and it will light all the lights up and let you figure out which is which. Then replace the one bulb and see if it fixes it. If that doesnt do it, I have no idea

Can i just replace the sheet that the bulbs snap into?and if so where would i get it at and is it hard to replace?i cant think of anything else that could be the problem,I knwo its not a big deal,but i like it when everything works.or would it be easier just gettin a new cluster with the sheets in it?.Can i put a test light on that sheet and see if its getting power?im stuck on what i can do [Confused] [Confused]

You tried a new bulb and nothing still? Might want to try a different cluster, the printed circuit on the back could be messed up not letting the lights get power. And all the fuses are good?

yep all fuses are good,i think its the same fuse as teh turn signals and my turn signals work fine.
