Exclamation Gauge Problem

Hello Members;

Yesterday when I went to drive my is300 at night I could not illuminate my gauges ( speedo, odom, etc...) or my ceneter console ( heat/vent dials and temps, or radio). The night illumination on the door window control still work

The devices still work but the evening backlighting does not. So when the car is turned on the check lights come on etc... and the radio, heater/ac work.

I also believe that my rear fog lights ( red circular on truck ) are not functioning. All other exterior lights are ( i.e. headlights, side markers and brake lights)

I am going to check No.5 "gauge" fuse No.7 "panel" fuse. Not sureif No.4 "tail" fuse also controls the rear fog lights

Thanks for your help

If the fuses is not where the problem is (which it most likely is) than your gonna have to start testing and tracing wires
