i had the same problem with my whole dash not lighting up and it was the dimmer switch so its worth it to go to a junkyard and find one for $5.. and if thats not the problem then u only spent $5

The dimmer switch controls the light of the cluster and dash lights. If the dimmer is out, so will everything else.
