'84 4Runner - No Dash Lights
They worked day before yesterday, last night they did not. All exterior lights work, turn signal indicators work, 4WD indicator works, but no gauges light up. I dont have an FSM yet, or anything, so help me out, what fuses/relay's and other things can I check, to lcoate this issue??
Thanks guys!

But check the dimmer, give it a wiggle. Mine have done that before even when I haven't touched the dimmer in months and a twist of the POT brings them back.

Dimmer knob most likely. I had this same danged issue in my 96 t100 (which is basically a 86-95 pickup). turned out the dimmer fried and was 100 bucks to replace.
For now you can test it by pulling the fuse panel off and checking there. If that doesnt work and your fuses are fine, remove the switch and using a voltmeter test the switch using a ground or such-it will light up. I wired mine into a ground and it worked fine till i got my switch.

I also agree with the dimmer theory. When I adjust mine, the lights do not dim smoothly. They go otu and come back on as dim, like contacts are bad or something.
