If you are talking about the illumination lights, I may have a diagram of the two sets of cables that connect to the cluster. Let me look

If you have an aftermarket stereo unit in your car, check to see what the installer did with the dimmer wire that went to the stock radio. If he didn't handle it properly, you'll have no dash lights.
