Is there a fuse for dash gauges?
The fuse may be labeled gauges, cluster, or something similar. This fuse should have power on both sides with the ignition in the on position. If the fuses check out okay, then check for power at the instrument cluster. When all else fails, the instrument cluster itself may have to be replaced.
Why did all my dashboard lights turn on while driving?
The dash lights coming on and vehicle shutting down are, most likely, related to a charging system problem. It’s fairly common for all the dash lights to come on with no alternator output, low voltage can cause unusual electrical issues. The alternator should have been tested at the time of battery replacement.

When did I Buy my Subaru Forester X?

Can a dash dimmer be just a fuse?
Before wading too deep into this and suspecting a parts failure, make sure the dash dimmer has not been inadvertently brushed by a hand and the dash lights turned off by accident. That does happen on a somewhat regular basis. Of course it can be just a fuse. Less likely a bulb because there is probably more than one.
How does the security system work in a Subaru?
When power is restored, it immediately triggers – flashing the lights and sounding the siren. (No siren is installed in the case of Subaru) When you press the “unlock” button on you remote, it “disarms” the security system. The good news is that you actually have a full blown security system module in your car.
