no instrument cluster lights, no runnng lights

all my lights work except my gauge lights and running lights.. all fuses are good, bulbs are good
this happened all of a sudden and just stopped working.

they worked fine yesterday, but no pop nothing. the fuses are all good tho? i still have working brake lights and signals. but i dont have running lights out back...

anyone have any ideas, or even where i should start looking? say the dimmer switch is ed...can i bypass it?

kinda hard to look up wiring diagrams without knowing the year / model...
but without knowing, I'd have to guess the light switch

Back to the main Q, did you check the driver's footwell fuses, the dash light/ running light fuse (same fuse) is behind the fusebox in the DS kickpanel. There's a little access hatch that you open and onthe reverse side of the hatch it tells you which fuse is which.

There are two fuseblocks, have you checked both? When exactly the same thing happened to me, it was as I described two posts up.
