Default No Panel Lights/Tail Lights

Key on engine off panel lights up. Start engine panel lights go off. Switch on headlights - headlights pop up no panel lights no tail lights. However, all worked one time this morning and then no luck.

Checked fuses and grounds so far - any ideas?

Fuse #6, in IP Fuse Block.
If that don't do it, time for some troubleshooting for the Multifunction Switch.

Default Fuse #6 was 1st thing I tried

Thanks for the reply. Fuse #6 was OK but I replaced it anyway in desperation. Funny thing is everything worked one time while I was working on it and then quit again.

I'm also having a problem with "Twilight ON" option. If I select "ON" everything goes weird with DIC. Change to "OFF" by selecting "RESET" over and over which changes "Twilight" to "OFF" automaticaly. Don't know if this is related.

Thanks

Sounds like the headlamp switch is failing. There's a rash of them failing lately. You can either replace it or repair it. Bill Curlee has an excellent repair advice on this.
