Default Dash lights and gauge lights not working

I have replaced the dimmer/headlight switch and my gauge lights and dash lights are still not working. I have checked the fuses at the kick panel inside and fuses under the dash. Only other light that is not working is my passenger front parking light. Anyone have suggestions? Only other electrical thing I am having trouble with is my window switches, don't thnk that s related though

Check the window fuse. Most times the manu will tie multiple items to the same fuse.

I think it is the window lock switch. The driver switch always works but the passenger window switches are intermittent.

Which fuse should I be checking because each fuse powers multiple things?
