I looked in the fuse boxes and didn't see any fuse that said Interior lights.  Anybody know where it is or have any idea on how to fix them.

i'm pretty sure the fuse for the dash lights is the one with the radio...  i'd re-check.   if it isn't the fuse, the next thing i'd check is the dimmer switch.

this @#$@ happens to me all the time... im pretty sure its the fourth fuse from the top on the right hand side of the fuse box.... and matrix is right if your parking lights are out (front and back) than its that fuse... if not hope its the dimmer

Well.  my drivers side sidemarkers are out??The sidemarkers on the passenger side are working though?  WTF.  My parking lights are on in the front but I'll go check that fuse when it quits raining so much.

What should I look for on the dimmer if the fuses are all ok?  Do you mean the switch is bad
thanks for the help.

now are you talking about your whole dash is out... as in your ac console also or just your tach.... if its just the tach than im sure its that fuse... and as for the dimmer, im saying check to see that its pushed to the right.. hope things work &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

yes my entire Dash. As in Tach, speedo, gas gauge, and temp guage, along with my A/c lights. The dome lights work fine, and the radio works fine.

My dimmer switch can only be pushed up and down, and when I do that nothing happens. Is there a dimmer switch that I don't know about or am not thinking about?

EDIT:Oh and the bulbs were burned out on the two sidemarkers that was all that was wrong with them.

On my s13 I had the same thing happen, to fix it I had to dis-assemble my gauge cluster, and it turned out where the cluster harness plugs into the main dash harness, the plug was barely loose, I just pushed it in a little bit more, and BINGO! on come the lights......
