Well I figured it was a fuse when I turned on my lights last night and no dash lights or anything inside went on. The headlights and foglights were on but no dash lights. I checked for the fuse but didn't find one, does anyone know that it is a fuse for sure and if so which one?

fuse is in engine bay. It's actually always for me been the one with the fuse puller attached to it. I just pull it up when I'm working inside and push it down after. It takes 2 spaces. It controls all inside lights and trunk lights. I think it may be listed as the fuse for the radio...

if the fuse is still good, check the dimmer!!! took me forever to fix mine because all the fuses where good, and the damn dimmer was bad...

mine was the whole dimmer switch, i replaced the whole thing, been working great ever since... i guess the internals in it are really weak... i had a floating voltage, meaning the power wire to it had power, the ground was grounded, but the lights didnt work. if you have exhausted the fuses, and any other of your ideas, replace the dimmer switch, its about $80 from Mitsubishi, or you can find someone will a parts car that will work. no worries if its a different coler, because you can just pop out the dimmer from the case, and put it back in your case... hope that helps.

I checked that radio double fuse and both of those 10 amps were good. Then I started pulling others for the hell of it and it ended up being the tail lamp fuse? It was blown so i replaced it and now the dash lights work. It's a 15 amp fuse but what does tail lamp have to do with that?

Hmm..seems like someone messed with some wires they shouldn't have.
Not saying you exactly but someone at some point possibly.
