Did all the dash lights go out at once? Do your parking lights work?
If they all went at once then I would test the switch. You should have 12 volts on both the in and out wire with the switch on. If that is ok you will need to check that the connection for the instrument panel is clean and tight.
If there are only a few lights out in the instrument cluster remove it and change the bulbs.
As far as the seatbelt jam goes, can you move it by hand? You will probably need to remove any trim and take a good look. Is there something jamming the belt? Is the track the belt runs on bent? Does it need greased? Is the linkage moving? Etc, etc, etc.
Please use the same thread to correspond so that all can share and you are easy to find. I am notified when anyone replies here but not of new threads.
Good luck and let us know. :)
