Default Cluster Lights Not Working

Everything seems to be working except the cluster illumination lights. But, also, the lights for my a/c controls are not working either.

Things That ARE Working:

Blinker indicator
Hi-beam Indicator
Stereo
A/C button light
Air Circ. Button Light
Odoneter Light

Things That ARE NOT Working
Cluster background light
A/C Control **** Lights

Yes I checked the cluster illumination fuse, and yeeeessss I checked the dimmer switch.
.
any other suggestiins?

It may be time to pull the cluster out, check a couple of the bulbs. I doubt they all burnt out at once. Then check the back of the cluster for any obvious burns or lose solder joints. Then clean all the pins on the two plugs that go into the cluster. If none of that works then my next suggestion would be time for a new cluster.

I just cleaned up that exchange. I'm not cleaning up the secondary. Let's keep it helpful.
