This is the usual cause. Just turn the dimmer knob back and forth about a hundred times. At first you may see an occasional glimmer of light, but if you are luck, eventually the lights will stay on.
If that doesn't work, make sure you are checking the correct fuse and make sure it is a new brass one or one on which the fuse ends and sockets have been cleaned.
Many owners jumper across the dimmer (easy to do if you take cluster out)
But on my car, the cause of lack of lights was a burned trace on the cluster circuit board. Instead of the fuse blowing, the cluster traces blew. I had the proper 8amp fuse, but for some reason the traces were the weak link. I posted elsewhere on this forum about how I hard wired the cluster, eliminating the cluster traces.
