Are your taillights working? If not, it's probably a fuse. When you checked the fuses did you just look at them or test them? Sometimes they look ok but are blown. If that checks out, it could be a faulty headlight switch. There are several bulbs in the dash cluster and other areas like the heater switch, etc. It's unlikely they all blew.

That would most likely be an individual bulb. You'll have to pull the gauge cluster out to check it. Glad you got it figured out though.
