No Dash Lights

Hey guys whats up, I am in need of some expert advice. I have a 2001 F-350 Powerstroke XLT, I have NO DASH LIGHTS, HEADLIGHT SWITCH ILLUMINATION, AC CONTROL ILLUMINATION. I still have brake lights, tail lights, running lights, parking lights, headlights, marker lights, but nothing on my dash panel will light up except for the dummy lights, and my radio which works fine, PLEASE HELP IM OUT OF IDEAS, checked all fuses with a meter everythings good, no blown fuses and I honestly dont know what to do

Get a wiring diagram and check grounds. Odds are a lot of them ground in the same place.

well i pulled the headlight switch out, and on the dimmer wheel side the Light blue/w red tracer wire has no power and im pretty sure that controls the dash lights, so i think i may need a new headlight switch, but i checked and tested all the fuses with a test light, and i dont know how to check the relays. but i dont even know where to begin to look for grounds

Had the exact same issue, ordered a replacement switch and everything works. Took all of 2 minutes.

Baronga so all you did was replace switch, now just so we are clear i have no illumination on the headlight switch, dash cluster, ac cluster. Everything else Radio, window switches all illuminate
