Your head lights are "on" when you start up the car correct? Take them off of "Auto" mode.
It sounds like the dimmer switch is not working for your dash.

My dash as well looks like yours upon initial startup-no exterior lights on.

 

I will try that but I have gone thru on off parking and suto modes already once!

 

Lastnight around 11pm I decided to go grap a bite to eat and one the way home I got pulled over. well come to find out my taillights are not working either. the brake lights work but not the tail lights? is it possible to wire and by pass the roller ball? I think that my whole problem!

 

there is a fuse box next to the battery, there is a fuse there that may be the problem, I had a similar issue where everything on the center console was out except the last setting that was on for the air, nothing else would work
it was a fuse in the box next to the battery check that, once I changed it everything was fine

 

the fuse was bad but so is the dimmer switch

 

i've seen this problem one too many times. have you changed any bulbs recentely?

did that reverse direction thing require any additional wiring?

 

NO i havent and just switched two wires! nothing additional!

 

I'm having the same problem! My heater and stereo lights are not working. and my clock light is off too! I checked all my fuses, except the one by the battery. My tail lights works still.... I remember that one time I was going for a ride, I turned on the lights and my centre console lights took a few seconds to come on? Any other things I could try? My buttons all still work for the stereo and heater, just no lights!!

 

hahaha so am I, i can't believe you found this thread i couldn't find shiit on this problem.

 

Lets see who can find the problem, what have you tried so far?

 

basically took everything apart behind the battery, where that fuse box is, since thats where the fuse is located for the taillights and console lights. checked all the wires and re wrapped them since i have a wire tuck. Put everything back and everything worked fine for about 50 miles then the fuse blew again. Im gonna swap out my dimmer, even though that maynot be the problem but i donno what else to try. Everything is grounded and no wires are expose. I have no idea what else to look for.

 

Which fuse is it? I looked through all of them and I can't seem to find a blown one! Also, my marker (side lights) are not working.

P.S. My tail lights don't work either!!!!

 

Bump! Same problem after installing LEDs. My center console lights, clock, and taillights won't light.
Please, help!
