No Instrument, Radio, or HVAC lights!!!

Hey all....I have a 94 GA GT V6....I'm having the same exact problem as this guy right here.....

http://www.automotiveforums.com/t369...lz_reply_.html

I was wondering where the dimmer module is located in my car....there are a few modules up there and don't know which it is.

Please help!!!!! I can't see anything on my dash at night....it really sucks!!!

the dimmer on my 95 gt is in the same panel with the fog light switch, its a rheostat, and they are easliy found at most part stores. You have to take a bunch of panels off (the 2 under the steering wheel, left side dash trim etc) and once you get at it its pretty simple to repalce. Mine has a dead spot in it, i just bounce it around a little if it goes out. Before you go tearing the dash apart, check the fuse and make sure you have tail lights, they are all controlled by the same fuse.

my symptoms are the exact same as the link i provided....sorry not trying to be rude.

heres what i've done:

i replaced the dimmer/fog light switch....tried 2 different ones

i replaced the multifunction switch in december so thats brand new

the 5 amp fuse for the instrument panel went out when this problem with no dash lights started. i replaced the fuse because the fog lights didn't work after that eather......hasn't blown since. my dimmer switch works...i know this because i can still turn on and off my map and floor lights with it.....But still don't have any dash lights

i would love to find that dimmer module....if my generation GA has it like the 99 and up ones do.

Here's what I found in my haynes manual... there is a dimmer module, but they dont' tell the location of it. follow the dark green wire back from the dimmer switch and it should take you to the module. the module will have 3 wires attached to it. I know its not much to go with, but its all the info the manual has in it. Good luck...
