QUESTION: The entire dash does not work.  You can here the radio and switch stations but other than that the entire dash is out.

Answer
You did try pushing the DISPLAY ON/OFF button ?.

What my problem is is that there are 2 different types of illumination when you have an analog speedometer and vacuum flourescent digital displays.

Does the climate control panel which is digital light up ?.

If not, I would have to say that the instrument cluster will have to be replaced.

I can provide you with an electrical schematic to test the circuits that come into and out of the dash components if you want to test all the circuits.
