Default Dashboard and instrument cluster lights just went dark

Instruments all work and and warning lights still illuminate, it's just the illumination of the gauge cluster and the climate control/etc. are all dark. Also, the gear selector is lit while the headlights are off but when I turn the headlights on, the selector lights go dark as well. I'm thinking headlight switch? Thoughts?

Have you turned the dimmer switch wheel?

Bummer was hoping it was that simple. I had my truck for a month before I knew what that wheel did

Did this ever get fixed? I'm experiencing the same problem.

Yes, yeah, sort of? I fussed with the wires that connected to the dimmer switch, and they came back to life. And by fussed, I mean, I literally touched the wire and wiggled it around a bit. Been fine ever since. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
