Default Running lights wont work..

Looks like my running lights won't activate when turning on my headlights. When I hit the brake the brake lights work but when I lay off they turn off completely (makes me invisible at night=bad situation) also the lights in my dash (speedometer, gas, etc...) will not turn on while driving but once i turn the car off the light up. It doesn't seem like a bad fuse (which worries me a little) but I've also heard the switches on the turn signal lever can go bad. Anyone else ever had this problem or know a way to fix it?

I had this problem before and it was the turnsignal aka multifunction switch.. without testing anything you could swap one in and see..
