Dash Panel Lights Out!

My green dash panel lights are out on the cruise control, foglights, rear defrost, & gauge dimmer buttons. Only those. The cruise control one will come on every now & then. Could it be a fuse or loose connection??? I am familiar with the wiring back there, I've takin the dash/gauges apart tons of times. I also switched the buttons that dont light up around (Just the switches), so the defrost/dimmer switches are reversed, as well as the foglight/cruise control switches. But the lights have never worked since I got the car so I know it's not something I did. Plus that wont effect anything. Just a sidenote. Also, all the buttons function, they just dont light up at night. Any Help Would Be Awsome! I really want this fixed. THANKS

My guess would be a loose connection if the one comes on every now and then. But check the bulb connections for corrosion and whatnot and while you in there wiggle the wires around to see if you can get them to light up. If so then its a loose connection. good luck

Check from the schema as/if they have a common point. See for LINKS at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/748507/1

Also I forgot to add that the hazard lights switch doesn't light up at night either or the power mirror adjuster switch. Do you think it could be the bulbs??? But the light on the cruise control switch that indicates it's on will work when I turn it on. But still no lit up (cruise control). Also the (orange) light that indicates that the side mirror defrost is on works when I turn it on, But no green???
