Dash Lights dont work

I was looking around to see why the dash lights on my 84 z28 camaro wont turn on and i cant figure it out to save my life. I tried changing bulbs and i still cant figure it out. I checked all the fuses and they are all good so i am lost to as what is causing this. If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Have they been turned off (dimmed) at the headlight switch?

Yes, it twists to brighten or dim.

New circuit board???? Pull your dash and use a test light to check.
