Reasons for the instrument lights not working in a Cruze: 1. Instrument panel circuit failure; 2. Blown fuse for the instrument panel power supply; 3. Damaged instrument panel lights. The dimensions of the Cruze hatchback are 4450 mm in length, 1807 mm in width, and 1459 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. The dimensions of the Cruze sedan are 4666 mm in length, 1807 mm in width, and 1460 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. The Cruze features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension with a Watt's linkage, and a unibody structure.
I usually drive a Cruze to commute, and recently encountered an issue with the dashboard lights not working, which was quite troublesome. Start by checking the simplest possibilities: a blown fuse is the most common cause, located in the fuse box under the steering wheel—check if it's burned out. If replacing the fuse doesn’t help, it might be a burnt-out bulb or a loose socket. Poor contact or aging wiring can also cause this problem; I once had an issue caused by oxidized connectors. Unstable voltage from the battery or alternator could also be a factor—it’s best to test with a multimeter. When DIY checking, don’t rush; if you can’t fix it, take it to a repair shop. This affects nighttime driving safety.
