Default No instrument lights

I drove my car the other night and had no instrument lights. All of the fuses are okay. Has anyone else had this problem. I am still under warranty, but wanted some input before heading to the dealer. Thanks for any help.

It happens. I was told the light switch assembly needs to be replaced. I can get the instrument lights to go on with some fiddling (turning on and off, twisting back and forth), and also eventually they come on. If you can't do that, it's probably time to replace the switch. Especially if you're under warranty.

Mine was broken off by PO.
Are you saying the switch is replacable. I was under the impression that the whole instrument panel needs to be replaced. Do you have a part # for just the switch ??

He is talking about the main (headlight) switch not the cluster *****.
Cluster **** info is here

I will call local dealers and see if they have any of these "spare" parts.

I lost the middle part of the cluster once. I jiggled the wires up there with my hand (from under the dash) and it came back on. Haven't had another problem since...

Thanks for the input. It goes to the dealer tomorrow. I did use a tester to make sure that I had power to the appropriate fuse which I do, it is therefore likely the switch.
