Default Can't see the controls in the dark!

Yesterday I took the car for a drive at night and I got som damp on the windshield, so I tried to change the airflow and direct it to the windshield, but I couldn't see anything! Are the heater controls and airflow controls not illuminated on a s2000? Or is something wrong in my car?

Best regards, Eric (pretty new s2k owner)

They are certainly illuminated. Sounds like you've got some bulbs out.

Ok, I checked the fuse that said "instruments" in the manual, but it looked ok. Are there separate bulbs for each of the different controls, or how does it work? Everything is dark except the main cluster and the "engine start" button which glows just a bit. Seems kind of strange that they would all go out?

Are there any other fuses that i should check?

Thank you for your response!

replace the fuse anyway. I have seen fuses that look to be ok, actually not work.

Could the brightness be turned right down?
