Instrument cluster lighting

[hoskins4952]

Help, My instrument cluster lights have quit. They started getting dim and I smelled something electrical burning and then they went out all together. I am leaning toward the brightness adjustment wheel unless someone can point me in another direction. Thanks for your help.

PS: 96 Nissan D21 pickup Frontier.

Yikes.
Take a look at the fuses. If those are fine, some wires behind the cluster might've melted.

Dimmers and H/L switches are known to go bad on these trucks.

Ok, Thanks. First I have heard about that. Will check into it ASAP and post what I find.
