FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER LIGHTS, A/C & AIR CONTROL KNOB LIGHTS, AND THE LIGHT FOR THE SHIFTER ALL STOPPED WORKING. ALSO, MY TRIP ODOMETER DOES NOT FUNCTION EITHER. I CHECKED THE FUSE PANEL LOCATED ON THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND NOTICED I WASN'T MISSING ANY OF THEM & NONE WENT BAD EITHER. WHAT ELSE COULD BE CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN? OBVIOUSLY IT'S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OF SOME SORT.
