General Dashboard lights

[crimbo]

Hi all my name is Dave.
I'm new here but realy need some help

My wife has a ulysse 2.0 petrol on an R plate and the dashboard back lights have stoped working. All the other lights work like the ignition light and the warning lights but not the iluminating lights, and driving it at night now is a nightmare the outside temp gauge has also stoped working but not sure if this happened at the same time or not.

I have had the dash apart today and all the bulbs seem ok please help if u can:worship:

Also the odometer hasent worked since she bought the car last year any ideas on that would also be greatfully received.

Thanking you all

Silly question but have you checked the fuses?
Does your clock backlight come on? ...and dim when you switch your headlights on?

Ive checked all the fuses in the fuse box under the bonnet and they are working.
No the clock back light does not come on (you can just about see it in the daylight) but the clock is on the roof console. None of the back lights come on.

Any ideas???

you need to check all the fuses behind the panel thats behind the glove box, open the glovebox, push the clips in at the sides and remove box, then pull fusebox panel out, fusebox behind this, it may also be worth inspecting the printed circuit board on the back of the dash binnacle for damage. my rev counter inop also, and i`m in the process of eliminating issues with that,,,argh
