odometer & gear indicator lights

Okay when i bought the car 2 months ago, neither the odometer or the sportshift gear indicator lights would light up at all. 2 days ago to my surprize, they both came on! Now a few hours ago when i turned my car on to go home from work, bam, neither of them light up anymore. Could this be a loose fuse? It's bothering me not having them light up now after having them for 2 days, any help would be appreciated!

More than likely something is loose or making poor contact behind the dash cluster.

There is a thread that covers this issue. Search odometer backlight. It's a small circuit board that attaches to the back of the instrument cluster. It also mentions changing the 5 or 6 bulbs with red sockets. On the last one I did, the 9 or 10 bulbs with blue sockets were in a lot worse shape than the red ones. The blue socket bulbs are the gauge illumination. Peresonally, I'd do them all.
