Sounds lie one of the connectors isn't snapped in correctly ?

which connector the one with a yellow tray?

Definitely break/remake the yellow one, but I'm thinking one of the connectors on the instrument pod. You should be able to do this without having to remove the dash again.

i checked the yellow tray with 5 connectors it's tight. the intsrument cluster connectors are also good I could not check the two main green connectors on top of the instrument pod because to do this I need to remove dash pad again but I think its impossible that the two loosened lights were working last night and if you lock the connectors together its pretty tight. I read somewhere that it could be the dimmer control switch anybody had the same issues with dimmer ?
