Default Please Help: Instrumental Panel Light stoped working

OK this might be lame but recently my instrumental panel light stoped working. I think i blew the fuse or something. So at night it is pitch black. I looked at the manual to see if there is a fuse that blew that might be related to the light in the instrumental panel. I tested all the fuse in my fuse box and they all seem to be working fine.

Does anyone know what might be the problem? Please help

Thanks

Check the fuses under the dash. The ones behind the little white cover. You almost have to lay on your back to see them, but they are there, right over your clutch pedal.

I checked all the fueses and they all are getting power. i even checked all the fuses in the fuse box all are getting power. Someone told me there is a chip they replace to get it working. does anyone know what chip it might be?

Pulling the fuse out to see if its blown, also using a fuse tester to check the current.

YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its fixed....

I never knew there was a fuse box located under the steering wheel, I looked online and found an article showing were its at in the car. Checked the fuses and found out I had a couple of blown fuses. I replaced the fuse and we are back in bizness.

Thanks guys for all your suggestion.
