I have a 1997 Cutlass Supreme SL and the dash and door lights are not working. Also when I turn the headlights on the radio display light goes out.

If you have dimmer control for interior lites, turn it up. You can turn dash lites off with that.

You may have to check circuits at headlamps switch? You see the gray wire in the diagram, that is voltage for instrument cluster illumination. Also, check applicable fuse.
