My gauge cluster on my 91 fastback doesn't light up at night when I turn on my headlights. But my turn signals will blink on the cluster when I use the turn signal. Which fuse should I look for in case it's a fuse problem?

I noticed that there is a fuse missing where it says "Daytime Light 10A". What is daytime light? Is there supposed to be a fuse there?

day time light is for the clock it turns on when you turn on ign.

There is no fuse for the day time light and my clock lights up when I turn on my ignition and it will turn off with my headlights on. Is that how it's supposed to work?

My dimmer switch doesn't function at all and it doesn't light up either. I think you may have hit the source of the problem.

Do you have the digital cluster with HUD?

If so, common problem, thoroughly discussed on here. Search and you will find ways to fix it.
