Everything works fine on my vehicle EXCEPT today the panel lights & gauges don't work (turn signals, hazard blinker, oil gauge, rpm gauge, speedometer, drive shift gear lights). Headlights, clock display, radio, CD/Cassette, A/C & all else are fine. Car runs fine. It's just the panel lights & gauges on panel stopped working suddenly & won't come back on. HELP!

Do the hazard light's work ? Did you try replacing the turn/ hazard flasher ?
Remove the LH instrument panel (IP) insulator. Refer to Instrument Panel Insulator Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
Remove the steering column filler panel. Refer to Steering Column Opening Filler Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
Grasp the hazard and turn signal flasher and slide the flasher to the right to release the flasher tabs from the slots on the BCM bracket.
Disconnect the electrical connector from the hazard and turn signal flasher.
Hazard Lamp/Turn Signal Lamp Flasher
Below left side of the IP, mounted on the multipurpose bracket, near the BCM
there is a regulator for the display brightness, you may have it turn'd down or it has stopped working;. it controls the brightness at which the dash lights are. usually has a speedo sign on it. goes up and down. it works with the main light and is conecter to them on the same lighting board if it has gone then a new light swtch control switch will be needed.
Check your bulbs first, I have lost both headlights on my ford at once on account of the bulbs burning out at the same time. Same thing probably happen, you have one filament out. The lights can work, but if the filament for brake is burnt, you don't see brake lights.
Your fuse is blown or the flasher relay is defective or both. Check the fuse first and replace as nexessary. Note that this vehicle has 2 flasher relays, one for the turn signals and one for the hazard lights. The turn signal flasher relay is located on the driver's side, under the dash above the kick panel, mounted in the top of the fuse panel. The hazard relay is located same place on the bottom of the fuse panel so do not get them mixed up.
No Turn Signal Operation (blinker)The turn signal lights in your car are a basic electrical system that controls the front and rear blinker lights to alert the intended direction of the vehicle. We have listed some of the most common problems and repair troubleshooting tips below: Troubleshooting Procedure To start troubleshooting this problem:
Turn the key to the on position (do not start engine)
Inspect the system fuse located in the fuse panel and replace if needed. If you cannot find the location of the blinker fuse consult your owner's manual or an online repair manual
When a blinker flasher fails it can cause blinker lights to say on, not blink, or not go on at all. To test the blinker system flasher, remove the flasher unit and insert a jumper wire between the two terminals. If blinker stays on in both directions without blinking, replace the flasher. If you cannot find the location of the blinker flasher consult your owners manual or an online repair manual.
Well first thing i would check would be the circuit plug connector at back of instrument panel is it full plugged in? if so check connectors that you did remove before making sure they are also fully and correctly plugged together
