I already asked this question earlier, but I figured that it might help to ask a second time, I checked all my fuses and they are good. I dont know where my dash fuse is at for my instrument panel, it is not in any of my fuse clusters that I can find. I have daytime running lights and they dont seem effected. My heater, fan control and vent control are all dark, but the knobs for my lights (which are usually not used due to the daytime running lights) and the dimmer switch are illuminated, they are to the leaft of the steering wheel and instrument panel. Pretty much everything from the instrument panel to the passengers side door is dark, but my stereo still works. My check engine light still works, I ran an obdII scan and it came up with nothing. All my guages work fine and when I start the car the normal lights for battery, fluid etc all come on. Any suggestions?

There are little bulbs that illuminate the dash but you have to find them. They're usually right inback of any panels that you can snap off. And on the fuse box the fuse should be labled "illumination". If that helps at all. Sometimes your body control module could have a short in it.
