Default Instrument Panel Lights Blown

The last time I had my interior torn apart I was installing a computer + touchscreen setup, and I brushed a wire in my dash against the chassis... spark and everything. Since then, I have had no backlighting in my instrument panel and console lights (heater and a/c controls). I do still have the backlighting in the LCD for the odometer though.

All of the fuses are fine which is frustrating... now I need to figure out what would have blown before the fuses. Is this problem something that anyone has any experience with?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks

check to see if you blew the dimmer control fuse or check to see if your parking lights in the rear are working with your headlights on.

Check ALL of your fuses, not just the ones you think it may have been...

Thanks for the quick replies guys... got a little distracted by Christmas.

I was only aware of the fuse box under the hood. Thank you for pointing out the one under the dash. I found the fuse and replaced it... everything is working nicely now.
