Not a single light bulb on dash working

First twiddle the knob on the instrument cluster which dims the dash lights. Rotate it back and forth a bunch of times and see if the lights come back. I assume all fuses are good, btw...

:detective:
 
You may want to bang the heel of your hand where the cluster curve of the dash begins. If the adjuster back and forth doesnt work, then you either have crud built up on the spring and the contacts are not reducing the resistance. Lastly, the headlight switch if original should be replaced as the only other switch that controls that kind of voltage is the ignition switch. Make sure you have brass fuses in the fuse box. Do these checks in order that is most cost effective (free shit first) :D
