Default Re: Dash instrument lights dead

Lights on the center console for heater controls also out and the window switch lights are also out. I assumed since they all were out it was a fuse but did not find any bad on a visual inspection of fuses. When I 1st turn the key on all the warning lights work as normal, just no background lights for speedometer, tach, etc. Any thoughts?
Is it possible that the dash light dimmer is turned to the lowest position.
If an interior light fails it does not light up the light out indicator, only an exterior bulb failure does that.
