Re: I remember seeing this a couple days back, replaced bulbs behind dash
that was me. I checked all the fuses, none were blown, so I am now getting a replacement globe that sits directly behind the odometer behind the dash face. I'm hoping that is the problem otherwise I don't have a clue what is wrong!

I don't think anything actually broke, I think something might need resetting(more)
i think it might have triggered something, kinda like a safety to prevent tampering with the miles on the car. i tried disconnecting the battery hoping that would do it, but no luck. I wish I had disconnected it before hand. I haven't tried disconnecting the ecu yet i might do that later. funny thing the guide on how to replace the gauge faces in the how to doesn't mention it I'll try emailing him and seeing what he did.

Let me know by email if you can. I've reset the computer, disconnected the battery, held the odometer reset button pushed in with ignition off and on etc. and still no better.

Any reason for all my bulbs to be out now?
I had only one bulb out yesterday, today I set my analog clock(the only time I touch that area of the dash) and now none of the light work except the odometer.
