Default Dakota light problems.

I own an 02 Dodge Dakota. Recently, the only lights that work on my truck are the headlights and brake lights. With that being said, the lights that don't work are... My cargo light, tail lights, dash lights, and map lights. I have checked the fuse block and there are no blown fuses. I have also checked the power distribution center, and there don't appear to be any blown fuses there as well. I don't think the panel dim switch, because at a certain point the cargo light will register as on, but power is not being transmitted to it, as it is not turning on. I think that it could possibly be a circuit or a wiring. If anyone could possibly know what the problem is, that would be a huge help.

You could try a new headlight switch, it should not cost too much. If that's not it I would guess somehow the Central Timer Module got smoked. All the lights you described that are not working run thru the CTM and if they all failed at once that could mean the CTM has a problem. Only way to really tell for sure if it's bad is with the DRB3 scan tool at the dealer.
