Instrument cluster back lights are out and tail lights are out

Other dash indicators are on. The light at the shifter is out (new bulb). Some back lights (not all) at console are out. Fuses checked and double checked. Tail light bulbs are new. Replaced Driver's Side Multiplex Unit. Any of you folks have any ideas? Man if it's a harness problem, that would suck.

Theres a small lights fuse that controls all those. Did you use a multimeter to check the fuse?

Thanks for reply.

If you mean the small light fuse under the hood, I just outright replaced that one with a new one. I've read some stuff about the tail light relay and how that may actually be connected to dash. Ring any bells?

Small light fuse is in the drivers kick panel IIRC.

The one labeled "Instrument Panel, Back-up Lights, Moonroof" on driver's side I changed out too.

It's the circuit connected to fuse #59. The fuse is fine but the wiring needs looking at. It's much better to have the service manual description than the owner's manual description. Sheesh. ALL those components/circuits are out.
