it should just be a fuse or a bulb,but go to the dealer,your cars still probably under warranty,and they should take care of it

I would really think that this is a bulb problem. Not many manufacturers would have one fuse in the fuse panel for one instrument panel bulb.

If you want to try replacing the bulb yourself, the black plastic bezel that surrounds the instruments just pops out. I watched the dealer replace my bezel and they started at the top with a thin screwdriver and popped it out. There are two tabs on the lower edge (if I remember well) that hold the bezel in the car.

I have never replaced instrument panel lights on an EP, but I would assume with this bezel out of the way, you might be able to remove the instruments and get to the bulbs that should be behind the guages. Again, I've not done this procedure and this may be incorrect for an EP, but I've taken many a dash apart in my years to replace bulbs and they can't make it too hard to replace bulbs.

werd, I apreciate the advice. I may try that in the next few days. I'm cool as long as they don't all go out.
