Dash Lights not working

2006 V-6 with approx 160,000 miles.
When turning on the lights,,just the gauge needles light up, nothing on the gauges or the ac controls. Possible issue with the lever on the column ?
Thanks

Did you check the dash light dimmer??? It should be on the left side of the dash. round wheel. Sometimes it is bumped getting in or out and dims the lights way down.

checked fuses under dash and they r good. Dimmer turns inside lights on but is not adjusting dash light

any chance if one light bulb burns out none of them work

No, they should be independent.
