Default No dash lights?

I was wondering if someone can tell me why I have no dash lights at night. My headlights and tail lights function properly but my dash light are not coming on? As far as I can remember they did work when I got the car but don't now. I checked the fuse box and can't find one that is blown.

Same thing on my car. Check your dimmer switch.

i had this same problem in mine. everything worked except the dash lights and a/c *****. radio lights were still on. i replaced the dimmer switch, nothing. so i replaced some wires in the multifuntion switch and had success. been working eversince. the male plug that works the flashers, its that one. i would just replace all the plugs for the multifunction switch if i were you.

I did replace the multi funtion switch but I diddn't realize if that is when they stopped working. I'll definately look into both though the dimmer and multi-function wiring. I already checked for blown fuses.
