99 ford escort dash lights

My daughters dash lights including radio lights went out and we can't figure out what to check next. We checked fuses, the dimmer switch and under the engine. Does somebody know what else we could check? She's been driving for a week without instrument lights and I (mommy) don't want her driving like that. Any suggestion is well appreciated. Thanks.

Did you check the fuses with the headlamp switch in the on position?Some vehicles pnly power up the fuse when the light are on.

Thanks for your reply. Now the parking lights in the back and front don't work and the tail lights (when the headlights are on). Yes, we checked the fuse when the head lights were on. Could it be the headlight switch gone bad? Are they all on the same relay?

It says its in the relay box,if I remember right its by the fuse box in the engine compartment but I cant find it in the wiring diagram,do you have an owners manual?

It has some wiring diagrams in it. I know where the fuse box is under the engine. You think it's next to that? Thanks for your suggestions.
