Main cruise switch on the dash has 2 small lights
Switches on steering wheel have no lights according to the wiring diagram

Those should light with the dash lights
sunroof switch shows 2 bulbs
mirrors show one bulb
Do ANY of the dash lights work? Does the dimmer work?
Does it have an aftermarket radio?

ok.. from what im reading it was looking like multiplex unit... but most of my other stuff works like dome light and a/c controles.. it HAD an aftermarket radio.. so who knows what they did... all exterior lights work.. as well as sunroof and light around ignition and "factory" blinking red light. about to go check dimmer now.

Id check the cluster circ board bulb base contact pads for powers and grounds.....maybe if something is missing follow the traces to see if a trace burned out

i assume all these missing ones are just for the automatics.. the top where the connector plugs in you can see the flux is flaking..
its weird cuz the odometer LCD is on the complete other side and is dead also

With lots of zoom it looks like the green coating is missing between some of the conductive traces....but over at the main connector it looks like there's some whitish powder or corrosion?
Can you follow the traces to see where they start or end?

You could remove (twist out) the main illumination bulbs and ohm check for continuity between the board contacts (they all share power source and ground source) so you could tell if there's a broken connection between any of the sockets
(I can't tell from a diagram exactly how many are for illumination but you could probably take it into a dark area and shine a bright light through the holes to find out)

i disconnected the cluster and used a test light on the plug to see if any show currant.. most showed nothing..a couple lit up.. i had key on and lights on.. most wires at connecter showed nothing.. all under steering wheel fuses are good.

P.S.: Don't do that!
