No dash panel lights or parking lights..

Long story short, I'm driving today, with headlights on, in dark. All of a sudden, all dash/gauge lights go off. I didn't touch anything, all that remain are my clock, radio LCD and CEL. I get yelled at on the road that my running lights are off in the back, however my brake lights do work. I get out of the car, all thats lit are my headlights, nothing else. I've kinda narrowed it down to my parking/running lights. When that notch on the light stalk in turned on, nothing happens. Can anyone help me in tracking this down?

-Side notes:
- I have no center console at the moment, if anyone has read my prev. thread, my shifter linkage snapped, so there are three connectors exposed: Emergency Light Button, Cigarette Lighter connector and Coin Tray Light connector. If any of these wires went bad, could they have caused this?
- Dimmer switch doesn't do anything.
- Checked a few of the possible fuses in the box near the steering wheel. All solid.

Please help. The car runs fine, and to be honest, its not too much of a big deal for the interior lights, but mainly without running lights in the back, I am just asking to get pulled over.

You said no running lights in the back? Check under the hood on the right side fuse box. There are four or five lighting fuses there too. Check em out I'm sure that your interior lighting is sourced through there too.
