OK I have my gauges all wired into the dimmer switch Under my dash. I have been driving the car without problem for quit some time know. I was driving down the road and my dash and all my lights went out. The lights by the floor turn on when the door opens. Also my visors mirror light will not turn on either.

I checks the fuss for the gauges to find it fine. I am wondering if there is another fuse panel i missed or if there is a relay to operate the system.

Please let me know before a go and tare my whole dash apart.

Thanks

also can someone get me apic for where the relay is located
 
every connection is soildered and shrink rapped. every single one. i do not own a single but- connector. they are shit im not even getting power to my sun visor lights

dose anyone know where the relay is located for the dash lights
 
Dash lights are on the taillight relay engine compartment. But if your taillights are working you blew out your dimmer switch as it's not designed to handle that much load (it actually provides a variable path to ground). Disconnect dimmer connector and short the black/yellow wire to the black wire. If dash lights now come on full (with taillights on), your dimmer is shot. As it's very expensive many people just leave that connection that way and live with not having adjustable intensity dash lights.
 
there is only one problem i wired my dash lights so that they are only feed by the green wire and groung on the body. but thank you i will check them
