Do the lights on your heater control work? If they do I would think that the bulbs are burnt out in the dash, I think there are three or four in the dash. No easy way to get at them, you have to take the top of the dash off to get at the gauge cluster. I did it last year to change the five dollar bulb for the clock.

It is my wife's car so I had to check it tonight. And none of the dash lights are working. Nothing on the insturment panel or around the heater dials. No are the lights to the radio working with the exception of the station. Do you have any clue where the ground is or the cluster of wires? I need a place to start testing!!

No I don't know where the ground is but have you tried playing with the dimmer control for the lights.
Other than this I do not know the wiring for the car.
