Dash lights no workie!!!! (1 Viewer)

so... Wife goes to flip on the headlights a couple of nites ago... and no dash lights...grrr

i checked all the fuses and replaced the tail lights fuse (it was blown) all the others were fine still no dash lights... and i noticed that the a few of the lights that are always on didn't appear to dim when i flipped the lights on.... any guess as to where to start?? i am feeling at a loss here.
headlights work and so do the tail lights...

thanks

the dimmer knob on the dash is where I'd start. I'd jump accross the terminals and see if the dash lights come on bright.

could be the start of a bad altenator

ok dimmer knob... checked that but didn't jump terminals.... i'll check in the morning...

bad alt is usualy the idiot lights flashing on and off all of them... i know that on my fj62 did that in japan...

this is localized to just the dash and radio lights that come on when you turn on the headlights
