    I am totally new to Hondas. Purchased a Honda Passport 94. There seems to be
    no light in the dash. Cannot read speedometer or gauges at night. Only fuse
    I could find related to this was labeled 'Gauge, Turn L.' It was OK. Is it
    possible this model has no dashboard lights to begin with???

    That would be illegal. Put your head on the seat and look up into the
    overhang of the dash. Odyssey has at least three little bulbs there,
    I'll bet yours is similar. Your owner's manual may even tell you how to
    change them.

    I looked at the instrument panel on my '95 Passport, there is a dimmer
    switch just below the right side of the instrument panel, rotate it
    with the headlights on and the instrument panel should light up. Mine
    does.

    Even with the lights dimmed to the maximmum, the op should still see
    some light in the dashboard...

    Sorry Cosmin, I just checked the instrument lights on my Passport,
    with the dimmer turned to the end position, the lights were 100% off.
    The dimmer also turned off the lights on the heater switches and at
    the shifter. I also turned off my Garage lights and looked again, the
    lights were OFF not just DIMMED DOWN.

    I also checked the instrument lights on a real Honda, my '01 Accord
    that lives besides my Passport, that dimmer only dims down the lights.
    Cosmin is correct re the Accord.

    That's what I thought, in all the Hondas (about 6-7 cars, different
    generations and models or Civics, Accords and Oddysseys) I've driven,
    the dimmer never turns the lights completely off. I know that for a fact
    because I always completely dimm the lights, it's just too distracting
    for me to have them brighter.
