Good folk

Tdi Disco. Year 2000. The instrument lights have stopped working. Checked the fuse & it is ok. The Disco does not have a dimmer switch, so it's not the dimmer. Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies. Through process of elimination (ok, i had to check almost every fuse!) I found that the fuse for the trailer lights had blown. Not sure why that would cause the dash lights to fail however once I replaced the fuse, it works fine.

Thanks again everyone.
