dashboard display lights 1990, 90 20v

We rencently purchased a 1990Q 20v. The dash lights do not light up including the led for the diff lock display. The headlights work, but the inside is dark all except for the climate control numbers. The number 12 fuse checked out ok, would all the bulbs be burned out at once or something else?

Check the wiring at the trunk hinge and make sure the license plate lights work.

2nd, you'd be amazed how many times it gets turned down - it's the **** all the way...

...on the left of the instrument cluster - clockwise will turn it up.
