Backlights on main gauges (Nightime lights) not working on 2015 SX210

[NewBoater]

Guys need some help/assistance/opinions on what to do for my 2015 SX210.

It’s a few years old and this is the second time this has happened. My nighttime lights (nav lights) work red and green upfront but the lights for all of the gauges (instrument cluster) won’t come on. Can’t see rpm’s gas levels etc because none of the backlights work.

It happened last summer and my local dealer replaced the whole dash they said under warranty and now it’s happening Again.

I hate to take it there again and wait weeks. I’m not very mechanically Inclined so not sure if this is something I can tackle myself on things to look at/explore/try.

What’s weird is last night only one light wasn’t working for port engine rpm then a couple minutes later all turned off and wouldn’t come back on. Maybe a short? Wiring issue? No clue where to start.

Thanks in advance.

First thing I would check is if the lights are getting power. Turn on the light switch, then remove the dash panel and remove the light bulbs from the gauges and using a multimeter or 12v test light, check to see if power is even making it to the bulbs.
