Weird dash/tailight problem

I'm sure it happened when I was working on my stereo, but my dash lights, tail lights, and memory seats aren't working. The odometer, and park/drive indicator are working though. My memory seats were working, but after checking the fuses, they stopped working as well. The indicator lights for climate control and cruise control work fine also. Any ideas what might be wrong? I got pulled over today because my tail lights were out. I need to get this fixed. Thanks

where were you working on your stereo? behind the dash? in the trunk? in the door? Did you unplug any thing and is it possible you forgot to plug something back in?

Ok, I realized my memory seats weren't working because they got reset after pulling the fuse. The actual lights that aren't working are the gauge lights and tail/brake lights. Also, after looking through the manual, I couldn't find any fuses for those lights. If there are, I completely missed it. Anyone know if and where the fuse is for the taillights? Thanks.

try looking in the fuse fuse boxes for "small lights" I think. Check that one.

Tim,
That was it! I don't know why Acura labels it like that, but the fuse labeled "small lights" under the hood is for the gauge lights and tailights. I saw a few older threads about the same problem with no answers, hopefully this will help someone in the future.
