*Resolved* Help! car runs fine, lights work, but no interior lights?

I got into my car, started her up, turn on my lights ( parking light mode) and I found it weird that the radio has no display ( not really surprised since I previously had problems with the display disapearing and reapearing from time to time), but this time, I noticed that all my gauge/clusters/digital climate control, basically all that would light up with the parking lights, aren't on in the interior cabin. My tails, trunk, corners, side markers all come on, but nothing in the cabin. My dome lights and door lights( courtesy lights) all work, but just on Interior Illumination.

And yes, I've checked the fuse, 7.5 and it's fine, just to be sure, I swapped with another 7.5 and still the same...



wtf? can anyone help?

Thanks

In the 95max it was a 15Amp fuse I believe for illumination lights.

Happened to me with my turbo car, I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the heck it was and then one day I decided to try to dimmer switch... viola. I felt so dumb.
