Default 99 Camaro z28 all dash lights on

I have a 99 Camaro Z28. I bought the car not long ago but I went to start the car yesterday and all dash lights are on. Car starts and runs fine, even the gauges all work, but most of the lights around are lit and I can't get the traction control to respond with the button. Anyone know what to start checking. I already replaced the battery today and did not help. Thanks

Mine actually just did the opposite. Interior gauge lights are on fine during the day but once the headlights or running lights turn on.. All of the interior lights turn off. I think we looking for the same source of the issue.

Anyone?

If all the normal things check out, such as fuses and such, I'd think it was an issue with the BCM. I've had no courtesy lights or power door locks for over a year due to a busted solder on one if the T connectors. A simple fix that I haven't had time to get to.

Pull the BCM, it's under the dash on the passenger side, behind the glove box. Make sure all the connections are good.

Have you tried connecting a reader to the OBD2 port to see if there are any codes?

Perhaps you could clarify... are you talking about the dash illumination or the warning lights?
