Default Instrument panel lights out

I just had the same problem in my '93 and it turned out to be the headlight switch. The one you pull out to turn on the lights and can turn to make the instrument cluster brighter or dimmer. But I believe there is a fuse for that as well

I've been looking and it might be a bad switch or loose wire in the switch but not too sure
