    hey
    coming home from work i noticed my whole instrument cluster (speedo, fuel, temp), aircon lights, and the 3 switches where the hazard sits all were out. they were all working last night. replaced the fuses but still no joy. the indicator, brake headlights etc all work.

    help...

    Which fuses did you check? I would go through them all - I think the interior illumination is on the same circuit as the tail lights? Double check all fuses.

    OK, next try swapping the park lamp relay. Its the third across. Swap it with another and see how that goes.

    Is your car equipped with a dimmer switch???
    I would imagine that you would still have the lights around the hazard working tho.... so more than likely not. But worth a look and check???? Maybe??

    The relay that you need to check is the one near the fuses inside the car near the drivers legs. There are 4 black boxes above the fuses - these are the relays. Have a look at the sticker that tells you what each fuse is and you will see the relays labelled too. Swap the park lamp relay (the third one) with the 2nd relay and see if that fixes your problem.
