2005 Tacoma Instrument lights not working

My son has a 2005 Toyota Tacoma. The ac and heater instrument lights are not working. Neither is the shifter light or the cruise control. I replaced all the bulbs for the instrument lights and shifter and still the lights will not come on. FYI, ac and heater work and the cruise control light will come on, but the cruise control will not activate. Anyone have any ideas about what could be wrong?

 

Have you checked for blown fuses?

 

Red 10 amp TAIL fuse in cab fuse box...

 

Is your dimmer switch down?

 

Dimmer switch is broke. Other gauges - gas, speedometer, etc. all light up.
Will check the 10 am tail fuse in the cab fuse box.

 

Hey Jagu1989 .. was this ever resolved? My dimmer switch, ac and heater instrument lights are also not working on my 2010.

 

No, this was never resolved. Tested all fuses - every fuse was ok.

 

I was able to fix cruise control - it was a bad clocksprng in steering column.

 

The combination meter illumination bypasses the dimming rheostat.
