so yeaa…they are out…checked all the fuses under the dash…i didnt know if there was another fuse panel anywhere that might have a fuse for this…its not really too bad…just a minor annoyance…

i think its a fuse cuz u highly doubt ALL my bulbs went out at the same time AND my climate control lights went out at the same time…lol

oh btw on a 98 sentra

Could be the BCM if your car has one. Mine went out causing some things to not work.

The BCM on my Maxima is located right on top of the ECU, behind the stereo/climate controls. Three plugs, and two screws later, it’s out. I paid $50 for a used one.
