Default WTF Electrical issues??

Walk out to my car this morning went to start it up turned on the headlights, they pop up normally and are on, but no instrument guage lights are lighting up, I pressed the fog light button and the button won't light up. I got out the car walked around it and the taillights aren't lit up. So get back in and I turn the headlights off, but the headlights won't go down. When I open the door, the instrument lights still don't come on. WTF is going on??

Easy stuff first, check Fuse #6 in the IP Fuse Block. If that is not it, some troubleshooting of the multifunction switch is in order.

It's your headlight/turn signal switch. You can either fix it yourself or buy a new one off ebay for $151 shipped. You can also use the twilight setting on your DIC to automatically turn everything on at dusk. Mine is scewed up at the moment too. I took mine apart a year ago but it has stopped working again.
