Are you sure the dash lights aren't turned off? Check the roller type knob (probably next to the light switch) move it up with the lights on. Any changes?

yea no change. even changed dimmer switch and still nothing. no interior lights not even cargo lights but the radio lights dim if I use the roller knob and the cargo light comes on to just not getting dash lights and interior light and cargo lights to come on and there is no way they all went dead at the same time. im so confused on this one.

Did you check the wiring in the dash? Trace the wiring back to make sure all the connections are good.

I'm almost curious if the computer didn't shut the circuit down. I'm not 100% sure how the computer controls the stuff being canbus.

One possible thing is a module built into the instrument panel that controls the interior lights. If that thing goes bad, you have to replace the entire instrument panel. Hopefully its not your issue but its a possibility
