Take off the front trim bezel and take the two screw to remove the gauge cluster. There are 3-5 bulbs that illuminate the dash. Just replace them, it's like a 194 bulb if I remember correctly. It probably has nothing to do with the fact that you washed it unless there is water back there too.

Why would you wash it when it was 30 below? 8l

live in canada was minus 50 for a few days than 30 didnt feel to bad

These have the odd bases on them where the wire terminals from the bulb are spot welded to the contacts. You can make plain 194 bulbs work by bending out the wire terminal and kind of " trap " it between the contact and base.

yeah I start it in the morning and they work great 10 mins later they do that.. I imagine once ones goin sends a couple out cause yeah the way the twist in.
