I have the car listed above LE. The dashboard lights and taillights are out. I checked all of the fuses they seem to be alright. All of my other lights work but these. What could be the problem?

More than likely, you have an issue with the combination switch (multifunction switch) and it is not turning these lights on.

However, we need to test this by using the info below to be sure this is the issue.

Here are guides that will help with this:
