When i switch on the headlights tonight, the dash won't lights up, but the headlights are working, also the climate control is not illumiating too. I have checked the fuses for the Room fuse and Meter fuse, they are not blown, where shall i look into? How can i fix this problem?

Those two items are on the illum fuse's circuit. See if it is popped and diagnose from there.

REplace the switch. I had the same problem.

i had that problem.. u might not want to drive at night time because your tail lights probably dont work either.. i was lucky enough to get pulled over the first night my F'ed up.. its probably a short in the connector between the wiring harness and the switch..

The dash illumination and climate control illumination is gone, but the headlights, rear lights works fine. I have checked the illumination fuse, its not blown, where do i tackle the problem?

Thanks for that reply, i have checked the dimmer switch, when i switched on the headlight switch, all exterior lights worked fine, the glovebox light work too, but the dashlight, climate control light and cigarette lighter socket light not working. Where shall i look into?

dont be so mean that doesnt answer much other then you need a new switch. but what caused the problem in the first place. or what if you want to bypass the switch and source it with another power source. thats a real answer. resolution to the problem .

You do realize you replied to a three year old thread and managed to question the greatest man to ever roam the forums (R.I.P)....

well... if you looked in my profile and clicked"threads started by.." you will see that i just posted a new thread.

in doing so i am subject to people saying "why dont you use the search function" well i did. and what i found was most unhelpful. faq was most unhelpful too, but i'm looking to fix the issue with out frying another switch on accident. since i have a hidden issue going on some where that i cant identify yet.

there are tiny bulbs that illuminate the climate controls, these are usually blown.

You have to remove the unit and unscrew the face of it to access these little bulbs

they are plug in , not soldered

Ok, recheck the Fuses..the illumination and Room Fuses.
Sometimes the fuses just don't sit RIGHT in the Fuse box(drivers side Kick panel)
they won't contact right and whammo..no circuit.
even if the fuse LOOKS ok it may not BE ok.

no, i know i messed up the system. i didnt just have this happen out of the blue. it was an error i made. i already got my answer elseware luckly.. but caued more issues. i guess working in 80% humidity when its 100 degrees outside leads to human error... it really sucks but, itll be fixed soon
