Dash lights not working

No fuses are out. The bulbs are not the problem. Where is it likely that the problem is? There are also no lights in the ACC

Dimmer rheostat failed open-circuit. Jumper the 2 pins on the back to bypass it.

OH, I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks for the idea. Any other possibilities?

There's a slim possibility that it could be the light switch itself, but the rheostat is an extremely common problem. It affects the lights in the center console and the dash, so if they're all out that's where to start.
