I see that a few of this have had this problem, but didn't see a solution in the forum. My dash and tail lights don't work and I can't find any blown fuses. Thoughts?

Just dash and tail lights or are all running lights out?

Based on my last electrical issue, check all the plugs. A short had melted one of the plugs where a switch plugged into the wiring run. Pretty much a needle in a haystack looking for that though, but a visual inspection of the wiring has helped me out of two problems.

EDIT: since I posted this, we have set up a Deli-Meat Frdiay 17 July Ikea Coquitlam, see the post online, if you can be there then Jay can test your circuits, free.
Hi DBowick, Welcome to the cult.
Can you update your profile, so we know where you are. Easiest troubleshooting is to meet up with one of us who has resolved their issues. We're in Burnaby, happy to help.
Is this a new to you vehicle, or have you had it a while and the electrical problem just happened.
Is it an L300?
Do your headlights and turn signals work OK, which rules out the lever switch. Try the fuses under the steering wheel near you knee level on the wall above the brakes. Actually pull out and replace each fuse one at a time as sometimes a blown fuse is hard to see.
