The dash lights in my 2001 Impala have quit working. No lights for spedometer, gas gauge, etc in the dash, also the climate control lights went out at the same time. For a short time this problem was intermittent and all lights would go in/out at once. Even when the dash lights are out, my cruise control light does come on.

I read some previous posts and a few guys suggested new headlight switch, do you think that could cause this problem? Can I test that with a test light or multi-meter before replacing the switch? Anything else to look at?

Thanks for the help guys!

the dimmer is normally part of the headlight switch...since it was intermitent it is usually the cause ...check fuses first then confirm with a meter..if you know what your doing you could use an external resistor of the proper wattage/resistance to save a few bucks on a new switch.
