Question Jeep Cherokee dash lamp help

Hi, I have a 96 Cherokee. I was driving back home a couple nights ago and all my dash lights went out without warning. I checked the fuse's first and found the burnt fuse and replaced it. The dash lights still dont come on and I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on what it could be, or if there's another fuse for the dash lights. Thanks in advance.

Just a thought... Ty turning your dimmer on the switch... I jade to replace mine cause it got worn and had dead spots where my dash lights wouldn't come on.

I had the very same problem & tore apart whole cluster and dash to to avail. Finally I rechecked all the fuses more closely and found one blown! Please check fuses 15,17&19 very closely!

If you didn't find and repair the short circuit, chances are the new fuse is trashed.
