98 Avalon instrument panel

[rrjnlee]

I have a 98 Avalon. The front instrument panel light is off - only the light on the far right side.

The result is hard to see the fuel gauge at night.

Does anyone know whether this is due to the light bulb burnt or a fuse?

I do not notice any other electrical problems.

If it is the light bulb, where can I find instructions to access this light bulb and change?

Thanks,

Robert,

I'm pretty sure it's a light bulb...not so sure as to where it is to change it.

This is what I thought as well.

And there are a lot of panel coverings to take out in order to reach the light bulb.

Without the service manual showing how to take the panels off, I am not going to do it by trial and error.

I have a 1997 Avalon with same problem. Light bulb burned out at fuel gage bulb #83119-24290. Toyota suggested I replace all the light bulbs about 25 pcs once I remove the entire dash board to get into the cluster. I also have the D drive bulb out last week.
