Default NEED HELP WITH LIGHTS PLEASE!!!!!!

Hey there,
A while back I went to my car one morning and started her up and noticed that none of the lights on my dash work, neither does the backlighting for my shifter or my a/c controls. The only lights I can get to work are my hazzards, the bliners, and the high beam light. I checked all the fuses and their all ok. Does anyone have any info of what this might be?

Well fi you mean check it by trying to turn it then yes. I was leaning towards that as being the problem as I vaguely recall something that said its a loop and if it goes bad it will do that. So i think Im going to replace it.

more than likely thats it. they're cheap too. i need one, mine's all funky. turns off in the wrong spots and gradually gets dimmer over time. a quick tap, its back to normal.
