Default No gauge or other interior lights

Got in my Disco to leave work and turned the lights on and notice my gauge doesn't light up nor do any of the buttons around the gauge or the HVAC panel.
I don't have my owners manual so bear with me here. When I flick the highs on and use my blinker, the indicators for those work.
The gauge does work as far as RPM and MPH and stuff.

I took down the panel to access the fuses but I do not know which one controls the lights. I am just hoping it is a bad fuse and a random occurence.

So to those with the owners manual can you please tell me which number fuse I am looking for in the fuse panel?

Thanks

Do you have the RAVE manual? The fuse locations will be in there.

Fuse is good Reverse lights work as well which they both share the same fuse.

1. Owners manual is also found in the large version of the RAVE. I know because I printed it for mine.

2. If the instrument lights (dash panel) and tail lights go out when you switch to the headlight position (but work in the parking light position [first click]) the problem is in the headlight switch, which is also the turn signal stalk.

Mine went bad, I had to change the headlight switch. Some report dis-assembling and cleaning works. I got a good used one from Will Tillery for $55 shipped.

No they don't work at all.
I know my headlight switch is borked though. Highbeams are intermittent.

Then you already know what to do.

(Change the borked switch if you want it to work properly)

Well it's just random that it would all of a sudden kill my gauge lights.
Last night the highs worked fine.
