Default No Illumination in the Dash

The backlights in the dash and clocks are not working….
I’ve looked at the fuse and this seems OK.
Can’t believe that all the bulbs have gone….
As all of the lights are out (apart from clock and mileometer) is there a change I’ve knocked anything in the centre console whilst sorting out the stereo?
Any help gratefully received

(MY02 by the way)

Don't know if your's is the same, but on my Forester, the dash lighting brightness is controlled by a twist collar on the light stalk.

i think it's stereo related,as playing around with mine yesterday & put headlights on & it turned stereo off

i have the correct iso connectors....it must be something to do with the stereo illunination interferering with dash,but it's not the wire for stereo illumination as swapped it over as you need to do sometimes but stil the same
