Sure, most probably the bulb in the instrument cluster is burned out. All the lamps should illumination when you turn the key to the on position. Remove the negative battery cable first, then remove any plastic panels to access the instrument cluster for removal. Twist the bulb out and install a new. youtube will have some videos on helping you do that.
