I think I shorted the instrument panel lights. I checked all fuses and none are poped. Is there another protection for them like a circuit breaker or relay. The The radio plays and all the instruments work. The radio and drive indicator are fine when the lights are off , but go real dim when lights are on at night.

Check that your parking brake is off.

I am having the same problem, cannot figure it out. Its not the dimmer switch, or the parking brake. Once it turns dust and the headlights switch over the dashboard goes 98% completely dark. Anybody Know??

It's probably the headlamp/instrument panel dimmer switch itself that's bad. If the DRL's work and the problem only occurs when the lights come on, that's my best course of action.
