Yup.. this happened to my wife's car too. The bulb is shot. The difficulty of the fix depends on how you hard you consider it to remove your dash and take change a bulb from behind it. We decided it's too much work and not worth it..... at least not now.

Yeah, I only changed it because I also had to remove my dash to reconnect my lighter. The only difference is when my bulb blew none of the numbers lit up at all.

hey man that sux
its an easy fix thou
there are two screw on the top of the black ring around the guages. Take those out, then use a thin knife to pop out the cruise and dimmer switches, and theres a scre behind then. after that, lower your steering collumn all the way and pull it out. There are then like 4 screws honding the guages in, two on top, two on bottom. pull those out and slowly tilt it down, then remove the two upper frame pieces. after that, discvonnect the plugs and jakn it out. then take the clear plastic piece off and remove the inner bezel, and low and behold, you will see the lights. i believe you have to pull the back piece off, and then reassemble in reverse order! its as easy as 123. I am such an expert on these guages after my indiglo install. lol

Good luck
Brian

the bulbs that light up the odometer are 194s like you put in your corner lights. you can add some red ones like i did, makes it look sweeeeet.
