Nissan maxima 2001 dashboard lights?

The other day when I drived my dashboard lights went out. I was unable to see my speedometer or anything else on it. Also I learned by another driver that my stop lights went out too. I think they both went out at same time. But when I hit my brakes the light works. So my question is how to fix the dashboard lights and the stop lights? Is it possible a fuse went out? If so which one could it be?

it is your rear light fuse. Check your fuse box and replace that one. rear lights and dash lights are on the same fuse, so it must be the fuse.

look, itll be the one that is blown. if its a blade type look in the plastic bridge, and you may be able to see. and on the fusebox there wil be a list of what does what.

Could be a lose connection at the buse box. Check in the back of your owner's manual for the distribution of the different fuses.
