Default Instrument Panel Lights

All my instrument panel lights are off when I turn on my 2005 C6. Did a hard restart with battery disconnect. Any suggestions as to fuse problem perhaps and where to start looking?
Thanks everyone

Have you checked your brightness adjustment for them ? Helps to read the Manual.

Have you tried adjusting the dimmer ****? It's on the lower dash by your left knee. Pushing it in should turn on all the interior lights and rotating it dims the dash.

Do you have a HUD? Does it work? There is a fuse in the panel/box in the passenger side footwell. "CLSTR/HUD" It's in your Owners Manual.

Those are the things I would check first. Hopefully it's not a harness/connector issue that may be a PITA to locate.

I suggest you ask this in the C1-C2 section of this forum, you're currently in the C6 section.
