Do your parking lamps work? What year stang? If no parking lamps then you probably have a relay issue.

headlights parking turn and left side brake lights are fine the right side brake lights and the interior lights that dim (CLIMATE CONTROL,GEAR INDICATOR, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER,) do not work.
IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE GEAR SELECTOR AND GUAGES AT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING, going to work.

I didn't know this for a while, but where you pull the thing to turn the headlights on, there is a knob on the end that brightens the dash lights. Hopefully this helps

i had the same problem on my 04, i had to check the fuses (under the steering wheel) one by one til i found a blown fuse, its a 5 amp fuse (brown), make sure you check them good because i had checke the fuses in the dark and it was a pain driving at night and trying to figure out wtf was wrong lol, til i checked the fuses in the day time and found the blown fuse.
