Default 1965 dash panel light question

Need some help. Iam trying to finish up my 65 and am having troubles getting the dash panel lights to work. I have replace all the bulbs with new ones since they were all bad, and nothing. Is there a fuseable link or something like that that could be bad? any tips would be appericated. thanks

They get their power from the headlight switch, via the dimmer rheostat. Check to see if power is going in or coming out there.
