The under-dash fuse panel is behind the access panel to the left of the steering wheel (on a left hand drive car) or to the right of it (on a right hand drive car).

This is a diagram of what you will see:

The other lights are powered off the circuits they are associated with, so with the GAUGE fuse out, they would still work.

If it does turn out to be that the speedo is bad, it is not difficult to remove and swap the instrument cluster. Th only issue is that your odometer will read whatever the replacement one reads.

That is very strange. If you don't unplug the battery, does it still come on for about 2 minutes when you start the car, or does it remain off until you once again unplug the battery?

If the latter is the case, then I would suspect a failure in the drive circuitry for the VFD.

Yes it is the latter looks like its of to the dealer
