Default Tail Lights not working Help!!

Friend of mine has a 2000 vert and he called today wanting me to come over to help him with light problem. He said that the Tail lights don't work and the dash lights are out. Said the headlights work and brakelights come on but the the regular tail lights are out a long with the dash lights. Any Ideas?

check fuses. i am not sure about the c5 but many other cars are set up so that if the tail light fuse blows the dash lights also go out to let you know of the problem.

If it is not a fuse, it may well be the multi function switch (turn signal,cruise control, lights) on the left side on steering collum. I had to change mine 2 weeks ago had same symtoms.

Thanks for the replys so far I was thinking about the switch as well. He has checked all the fuses and they are all fine.
