Checked the wires? Buggy lil creatures might have gotten to them somewhere along the way. I'm going to assume you've made sure the bulbs weren't burnt lol. That's all I can really think of if the fuses are fine.

Sorry to double post, I'm not seeing an edit feature on GarageTalk, but regarding your dash lights - connections could be poor, or again a burnt out bulb, I've got one side lit up and one side dead - gauges and lights behind em work, just the "overhead" dash light on the left is out. Probably time to just refurbish the cluster to be honest (#20386 to-do on my list )

I had this issue in my FC when I first got it. What Fixed the issue for me was pulling out the switch for the lights and tining(pouring solder onto) one of the pins on the back of the switch. The pin was black and corroded and tinning takes away the corrosion leaving a nice clean surface. Been working for 3 years now since the fix.
