Default 93 d16z6- No dash lights along with running lights

Hey there honda techs,
I must first day thanks for all the great work that yall have done. I have referred to this site for many of my own repairs and have not been let down yet!

I now have a problem that i can not find a solution for and am stumped. My 93 civic (d16z6 stock) will not turn on the dash lights or running light when i turn my selector **** on the steering column. The head lights come on, high and low beams, as well as the (i think they are called) cluster lights. My turn signals blink and my brake lights come on when i hit the brakes and the radio works.
I have checked all the fuses and they are all good and have taken the selector **** apart and cleaned and greased all the contacts. When i took the selector **** apart i checked for continuity between the plates and the males ends and all were beeping. I dont think this has anything to do with it but i recently had to buy and install a new ignition switch.

Thanks for all the help- cams and draws

I have also tried to jump the dimmer switch and had no luck.

Check for power to the combination light switch and power out of it, on the park light circuit, as on most Honda/Acura the fuse is after the switch so you can also test for power at the fuse when park/head lights are on.

If no power at the fuse the combination light switch is bad.
If you have power at the fuse, the problem is the fuse box or dash illumination wiring after the fuse box, [red/black] maybe something not plugged in properly into the fuse box, [under dash fuse box]. 94
