Gauge lights went out at once

[rjppunk]

Most of the lights on my dash all went out at once, only lights still working are the directionals, door open light, hazards, and 4x4. Even the noise that tells me I'm an idiot and left my lights on doesn't work. Kind of a pain when I can't tell how fast I'm going at night, or trying to put it in reverse in the dark. Any clues? I checked all the fuses that made any kind of sense but it wasn't that simple I suppose. Prefer to not pull apart the dash if I can help it.

Don't know what kind of light switch is in yours but the earlier trucks that have the round button that you pull out for the lights and twist for the dash light dimmer, the resistor that is in the switch sometimes falls apart.

Kind of an update, still an issue. Didnt realize this till I got pulled over but my parking lights dont work either. it isnt fuses, what links my dash ilum light, parking lights, and the "you left you lights on" beep? Ground fault maybe but I have no clue

The only thing that it can be is a fuse under the dash
