Default No dash Lights - Any Ideas?

I turned on my headlights tonight and have headlights but no dash illumination. However, I do have the radio station indicator (but not the background illumination) and also climate control indicator (also without background illumination) --- the dimmer control does not adjust their brightness. At first guess it seems like the headlight switch may be the problem - perhaps bad contacts.

Anyone have this experience or any trouble shooting ideas?

Did you check you fuses?

Possible fuse 19

Default thanks for the suggestion

It was too dark by the time I got home to start pulling things apart. However I will be taking a look first thing tomorrow.

Fuse 19 - in the passenger side fuse box or the fuse box under the hood near the battery?

Thanks, I hope it is that easy - at least I have headlights, besides I know when I am going warp speed at night!

Before you get into the fuses, did you manage to hit the dash light dimmer dial by accident?
