Question Help Hurry!! My Lights Dont Work!!

When I turn the light swith on, nothing happens,
No Gauges or console lights on, No Taillights on No head and Daytime running lights on too.
But when I push hazard it or push the break lamps works..

When I fully turn on the switch. at High Beam lights FOG LIGHT AND HIGH BEAM works.. (usually when you turn High beam fog lights is turn off) at low beam fog lights turn off..

Any ideas why that could be happen??

Sounds like you got a blown fuse! Its in the same circuit as your cluster illumination, its the way your car will tell you that you're out on parking and taillights! Its a 15 amp if I am not mistaken.

Doesn't mean a thing...the front and rear bulbs are dual filament - they have separate filaments and circuits for the parking/running lights and for the brake/turn signal lights. The fact that the brake lights work has nothing to do with the running lights.

The first thing to check is the TAIL LPS fuse. Don't just look at it - test it or replace it with a known good fuse because fuses often look fine even when they're blown. The TAIL LPS fuse protects all of the exterior running lights (front and back) as well as the instrument panel lights.
