I'd take a multimeter, start at the dash lights, and work your way to the fuse.

I had my headlights go out, and I found I could jump part of the headlight switch and get them back. Not sure how or why this worked, but it did.

Good luck with it. Wiring issues blow.

Don't foget to check the ground. Bad ground wires cause more troubles than anything.

Had a similar problem....bad ground was the culprit....check your taillights to see if working as they are on the same circuit.
