Default Tail lights not working

I am new to C5's and have searched the forum and not found this exact issue.

My tail lights and dash lights do not work when the headlight switch is turned on. However everything works fine when the twilight setting is used.

any ideas would be appreciated.

If the twilight works then it is usually the stalk failing.

Yep, sounds like the turn signal lever is on its way out. I just replaced mine this winter.
