The switch is replaceable.
Remove and inspect the wiring harness and the wire that plug into it
twist and turn harness with lights on checking for change.

Hey DAVID,

Sorry for the slow response over the holidays, it looks like it could be a fuse or the battery shut down relay,

Here is a guide to help you fix the problem and a few wiring diagrams:

Lights on dashboard go out. I have checked fuses and they are good.

How do I check on body control module codes?

You need a scanner that can read all codes and not just engine codes. They are extremely expensive, so I would recommend paying someone who has one to check it for you.

My dashboard lights have stopped working. Even the switch that turns the light on has stopped working. Could it be a fuse or a sensor and is it worth fixing?

Check fuses. If the switch is not working, chances are it is bad. The power to the dash lights goes through it. First, check fuses and then move to the switch.

As of December 24th, my parking lights, electric seats, dashboard lights, and FOBs haven't worked. I've checked (metered 4 continuity) all fuses, on passenger side panel & under the hood. No luck! I went thru a big icy puddle xmas eve and the problem occured right around then? Any suggestions?

There is a non replaceable bulb behind the lcd , replacing the cluster is the only answer unless you know someone who can repair it but chances are slim to none
