No illumination panel lights

[ampage8]

I have the 90 accord that has all kinds of problems, the one bothering me most is the dashboard illumination.The brakelights and all everything else works fine i just dont have any illumination an the instument panel. i have checked fuses, relays with no luck. Any help would be great.

Sounds stupid, but have you checked the panel dimmer switch?? I have seen experienced techs miss this simple fix.

would the dimmer switch cause the lights to not come on at all? also if this were a relay or fuse, wouldnt something else not work. like tailights or something else on the same fuse or relay? i highly doubt the dimmer has its own relay and fuse. although i didnt actuall find a fuse for the dimmer. i checked all fuses under hood and under steering wheel and all were fine.

if the dimmer is all the way down, it turns off all the dash lights. If it is a fuse, it should be a 5 amp. (I think)
