Default 850 Dashboard Fuse Location

Can anyone show me a pic of where the fuse kit goes in on an 850 instrument panel board, my VIDA does not show the supposed two holes to screw the new fuse in. Thanks a bunch, Car is used at night a lot by new driver (my daughter) don't like the idea of no ash lights...please help.

All the fuses are under the hood right up against the windscreen, just below the driver wiper arm. Under the black cover that says fuses, and it should be fuse number 35. If it is not the fuse, it will most likely be the dimmer switch, a common failure in the 850's

With all due respect, I' asking about the dashboard fuse itself that is screwed into 2 holes on the instrumentation greenboard, you have to remove the instrument cluster to replace it, unfortunately my 2012A Vida shows the screw holes, but they are not the same as on my 850. all my "normal" fuses and such are in working condition.

I have had several 850 clusters in my hand and apart in the past few months and really have not seen ANY fuse on it. Does the other interior lights work? Like the ones around the ac controls?

Your likely problems are:

1. Ignition switch, juggling the key.
2. The headlight switch.
3. The dash dimmer switch.
4. A broken wire in the cluster harness.

There's two sizes of bulbs on the back of the cluster and if I recall, there's two of the the big size which illuminate the guages with the small one for the dummy lights.

Smallish ones for the led temp gauge as well.
