there is a 7.5a fuse, but i doubt only one side would go out if it were blown. make sure the bulb and all the connections are good. might want to check the relay too

What was done to the car that you just got it back from? If all the lights in the gauge cluster went out, thats most likely a wiring problem.

hmm

well i had just got the car back from getting my wiring harness done. not all the lights in the cluster are out. the little red led lights turn on, and the clock light comes on, but not the gauges. i had only engine work done. so the shop didn't have to do anything behind the dash (as far as i kno)

You have a bad ground somewhere, or possibly the hot wire to the lights. There are 3 bulbs back there, not to mention the bulbs in the HVAC control. Sounds like they messed something up with your harness. Try grounding the wire to the gauge backlights.
