guys, i replaced my gauge bulbs, when i plugged the 3 harnesses back into the back of the gauge cluster i turned the lights on to see if they were working. nothing came on. my CEL, door open and all those lights came on but the bulbs didnt. i turned the car on and off just to check. my headlights work fine, just the gauge bulbs and turn signals dont work.... HELP!

run a test light or volt meter to make sure its getting juice

You did throw away the burnt out bulbs. and a volt meter is a wise idea if everything seems to be plugged in and twisted.

dont have a volt meter. ive taken bulbs out and in a few times and never had this problem before. like i said, all of the warning and indicator lights come on when i start the car, the bulbs for the back of the gauges ust dont light up...

u sure the hardness are tight enough?

also check if the back of the cluster (the green sheet) to see if the metals (the gold color) are fried

green thing looks like it did before. harnesses are clipped in. could i have blown the fuse? where is the fuse located?

is the fuse box for the gauges located inside or under the hood???

should be behind your coin pocket on the left side of the steering wheel. check your owner's manual, too. it'll tell you which fuse box contains the fuse you're looking for

idea... maybe someone can tell me if this is it. could it be that my gauge bulbs and turn signals arent working because my warning/hazard lights are unplugged as well?

You gauge bulbs should work fine with the hazard clip out. Blinkers won't though.

I'd check the fuse for sure and reseat the clips in the back.
