    Gauges won't light up, and radio won't power on. all buttons like AC and all lights like blinkers, oil, check engine light up and work fine. I checked every single fuse I could fine and no blown ones...idk what to do

    Was your dimmer harness disconnected recently?

    Sometimes fuses are hard to see if they are blown or not. I suggest swapping fuses and seeing if any work after that. I don't much more about the first gen's but does anyone know if there are any relays used for gauges/dash?

    If you have a fuse checker then use it. I had a problem with lights not working and I checked the fuse and it looked good, but when I tested the fuse with my fuse checker thing it said the fuse was bad. I replaced the fuse and everything worked again.

    Check fuses also maybe check for some codes through the OBDII port with a scanner.
