I just got a new Boxster today - well, not NEW, but new to me. It's an 01' with 17K miles to replace the 01 I totalled a few months ago (some might remember my story of motorhome running me off the road!)

Anyway, I just drove it down to the gas station and couldn't get the dash lights to come on. The digital display works fine - displays mph, odomoter, etc. but the guages won't light up, nor will any of the buttons on the dash for the roof, windows, etc.

I checked all of the fuses in the kick panel below the steering wheel and they were all perfect. Can't find anything in the owner's manual that talks about a dimmer for the dash lights so I'm lost???

Anyone have this problem before, or any suggestions? Should I just take it to the dealership tomorrow?
