Default dash problems

my dash lights dont work....liek i turn my car lights on they work fine, break lights work and everything, just whe nits dark otu the dash DOES NOT work...the stereo works but other than that nothing...
ac, cruise lights work...uh.......yea i guess thats it

I believe he was talking about the the switch that regulates the lighting on your gauge cluster. You twist it one way or another to brighten or darken the cluster.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

definetly check your dimmer switch. If 1 wire gets loose on it all the lights on the dash go off
