Lights not working on dashboard

OK so
My lights apart from the oil light do not come on when I turn key.
Also when I turn my lights on even tho they come on out side I have none behind dashboard..
Is there a fuse I should check and where is it.. Please do not say it's with the other fuses as I'm 100% sure there cool ...

How did you test them to get your 100% surety?
A visual check won't suffice.You need to do a continuity test out of situ.
I had a similar problem on mine with the glass fuses,visual check showed all fine.Took them out for continuity test & the end cap came off one because the soldered joint had broken.

Lol see your point.
I'm having my stitches out tomorrow so I'll get on it ASAP.
There's a funny thing that happened with the back light tho. We had had an advisory for years cos when you indicated two other bulbs came on.. Very dim but on all the same lol anyway we checked it out and changed a wire.... Now when I indicate its OK BUT when we put on the switch under the switch for the headlights and then indicate the back lights do all sorts of things lol.. I've taped that switch off so it should be OK..
Can't wait to get driving again.. Soooooon

Might be a silly question but,you have actually tested the bulbs themselves haven't you?

earth

The casing of each bulb is earthed so follow the circit back you should end up with 2or3 wires being earthed to the frame take them off clean them and earth site then replace the earth wire.Cheers Jim.
