Normally, pull **** to turn headlights and rotate same **** to adjust brightness of dash lights. Headlights work, dome light works, but dash completely dark. Fuse looks good, don't know what else to check.

Check the fuse for continunity to confirm it is good. They can look good and still be bad. Also, the lights to the dash are powered through the headlight switch. Check to make sure the plug to the switch is tight. Finally, check for weak or broken body grounds under the dash.
