Default Dashlights suddenly stop working

Had my 03 Monty SS for 11 years 103,000 miles now and no major problem as of yet, my dashlights suddenly stop working. Everything seem to be working "radio, headlights, daytime running light, brake lights, turn signals. Suspect light/dimmer switch. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

Default Yes and No

I had electrical problems when I brought the car, it was a decideing factor why I brought the car.. I got the car September 2004 from a chevy dealership in Texas who had it for a recall fix and trunk light fuse will pop when bulb in inserted in receptacle problem. 2003 SS fully equip with moon... about1500 miles... $18,590.00. This is the first major problem that I had other than replacing hub assembly 2x because of the 20" chrome wheels that I put on the car. Anyway I check all fuses that was not blown before this problem?

Check your fuses. I had all dash lights, radio lights & HVAC lights go out. Turned out that I also had not tail lights either. The fuse that blew was for the tail lights

Yup. it's either going to be a fuse, or perhaps the pull out headlamp/dimmer/ dome switch, or lastly the multifunction-turn signal switch....I have a 2000 MC SS, I'm having electrical issues myself, low-beams wont come on! and hi-beams wont stay on without holding turn sig (multifunction) switch towards me, ordered a new multifunction switch a couple days ago... ill keep ya updated! my dash/instrument/dome/turn/brake/ and fog lights all still work.... check ALL fuses!

just an update, new multifuntion switch didn't fix my lowbeam issue. my high-beams now work, and all other lights work for me.. just those darn low-beams and DRL lighting system doesnt work for me either.
