Question What am I missing??

I jumped in my rig to go to work this a.m. and much to my suprise my lights behind my gauges are not working,when I got to work I realized that my running lights are not working as well.Headlights work, turn signals work, brake lights work,and bright lights work. I figured it was prob. a fuse but have none burned up. What am I missing?????

If that ain't it, drop the fuse block and look at the wires BEHIND the fuse for the Inst. Panel/running lights.

Thanks for the replies fellas ,Im pretty sure its my switch,if I fiddle with it at the mid-way point I can get the dash and running lights to come on,but once I pull it out further to the headlight on postion they go out
