I have a problem with the lights that illuminate the instrument panel, heater switch's, gear selection panel etc. The lights should illuminate when the light selector switch is turned on. Just went . Any help would be appreciated.

Have you adjusted the dimmer?
A lot of people don't know its there. If you're one of them, twist the mileometer reset switch.
The rheostat is also known to fail so if that doesn't work, this may be the problem.
