Default gauge lights out

I have an 05 dakota slt, and my gauge lights are out. I checked every damn fuse, and not one of them is burnt out. I havent looked under the dash to see if something is unplugged or something, but I am about
to do that as thats all I can think it could be at this point. Anyone else had their lights go out?

Not me. Did you check to see if you might have accidently turned them off? That happens occasionally. I've done that in the past once.

yeah, i played with the dial that you can turn them off with plenty. I took apart the lower part of the dash, but couldnt even get to the gauge pod. I checked all the wires I could and every fuse and nothing is wrong. Im just too lazy to deal with bringing it to the dealership right now, but I will eventually if i cant figure it out.

I finally brought it in. Turns out there was a crappy solder on the circuit board of the guages, which would explain why I couldnt figure it out. Getting new guages and it'll be fixed
