No Tail lights etc

All lights were working great.
On the way home from a show, lost the dash lights & tail lights.
All front lights & rear brake/turn/hazards still work.
All the fuses are good.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Yeah, troubleshoot the problem with a test light.

Start by looking at the wiring diagram in the CSM. The only things in common with these circuits are the 20 A TAIL fuse, the wire from the fuse box to the headlight switch, and the headlight switch itself. Use the test light to check for power on both sides of that fuse. If power is good, check the terminal where it goes into the headlight switch. If that's good, it's probably the switch itself.

FYI, the only other item on that fuse is the underhood light. If your car doesn't have one, verify that the pigtail coming out of the firewall didn't bounce around and ground out.

Also, you didn't mention it, but I ASSUME there is no aftermarket wiring connected to this circuit.

Bingo - It's a bad switch!
Thanks Joe.
