Default No instrument panel lighting

HI all

Wondering if anyone has run into this problem before, all of a sudden i have no instrument panel lighting, nothing for my speedometer, fuel gauge, or any of the controls for the air, heat..any idea's on where to start, checked the fuse box beside the passenger door, all those fuse's seem fine... any other place I should look for fuse's? I should mention 1995 Monte Carlo LS is the car in question.

Kinda have this same prob. except I have partial lights. One side (passenger side) of my controls for heat and air work, my drivers side is dark. I have partial lights on my instrument panel. I belive it may be a fuse, but there are so many fuse boxes to look at. I looked in my owners manual and there are at least 2 fuse boxes under the hood. It was so complicated, what they called each designation of fuses, that I could figure out which one(s) it might be. I got very frustrated. So, I still only have partial lighting. Also, the fan doesn't seem to blow on 1, it does on all the other settings, I figure it is related to a fuse and the reason the lights are out on my heat/air controls. Good luck.

It could also be the dimmer switch itself. Maybe??

The first thing I tried was the dimmer! Still have the problem, just irritating at this point. They tell me it could be a bulb under the dash but I don't think so, not one bulb for all the issues! Doesn't make sense. Thanks for the thought though.
