Need help, dash lights out

Hello

ok so i got a problem, i have a 93 explorer sport, and my dash lights went out, checked the fuse and its still good, and i cant get into that area to check the bulbs or anything else. so im pretty much as a stand still without taking the entire consel apart, which i will do if i have to but thought i would ask first.

This is probably a stupid question, but are you sure the dimmer isn't all the way down? Make sure the dimmer still activates the interior lights. If it doesn't, it may be a bad dimmer switch.

yeah the switch is still working, unless the wires came disconnected from it for the dash lights, o yea i forgot to mention the ac/heat lights are out as well as the ash tray lights, and im aware that all 3 are connected. Im about 95% sure theres a short somewhere which is my worse nightmare, seeing how theres just as much added wiring as there is factory wiring in my explorer.
