Default Dashboard lights out!!

Hi, this is my first post and I was wondering if anyone had a solution to my problem? i am the proud owner of a 99 xj8l VDP and my dashboard lights are not coming on. i made sure that the dimmer switch is in the on position and looked in my owners manual for a fuse that controls this to no avail. any suggestions?

Are the headlights on? Not the best question, I know, but as a fellow newbie, it's all I have to offer. Welcome to the forum!

Check fuse #3 in the left (USA driver's side) heelboard fuse box.

Are any interior headlight switch controlled / dimmable lights coming on? (door/window switches, gear shift... etc.)?

No, he asked about DIMMABLE controlled illumination, not steady state lighting.
