The dash lights won't come on and the blinkers and hazards won't work. I have check fuses relays and grounds, but I cannot find anything wrong.

I would check for power at the fuses in the wiring diagrams below which show the fuses used and how the lighting system work, it sounds like the headlight switch might be out or a have a shorted lighting socket.
