The lights on the front dashboard don't light up when I turn on the engine. At night I cannot see the speedamator or gas gauge or hot and cold gauge.
Check all the fuses for the instrument panel lighting.
Check all the light bulbs behind the instrument panel.
Replace all burnt fuses and light bulbs.

check your dimmer knob, it should be on your left hand side on your dash board, turn on your lights then turn it, if that does not solve the problem check your fuses
SOURCE: No dashboard/odometer lights and no rear lights
just go to the fuse box in the engine compartment and look for the (red 1Oamp) tail light fuse... it might be broken just replace and that should solve your problem.

This sounds like an issue with your radiator fan not kicking in. You might have a bad fan relay ... or a dead fan motor. These are both relatively simple parts to repair ... and if you are doing your own repairs, it's pretty easy to figure out which one it is ...
First -- remember that you have to keep safety in mind. Touching live wires in a car's engine can cause serious injury or even death -- so make sure you do these steps in order.
1. Unplug the battery from the electrical system of the car -- this will make sure you don't get shocked while testing your fan.
2. Unplug your fan from the engine and insert 2 wires into the plug and plug it back in (one for positive and one for negative). Make sure that you are using a wire that can handle 12 volts at high amperage. Make sure that the stripped parts of the wires are not going to touch each other, and that they make a connection to the metal inside the plug. (I will refer to these wires as the "bypass wires" for this procedure)
3. Connect your bypass wires to the disconnected ends of your battery cables that you unplugged in step 1.
4. Reconnect the battery cables to the battery one at a time ... as the second wire makes contact with the battery terminal, you should hear the fan kick on. If it turns on, you probably have an issue with the fan relay and not the fan itself. If the fan does not turn on with the bypass wires in place, you most likely have a dead fan motor.
5. Remove the battery cables from the battery again, and then remove the bypass wires.
6. Reconnect the battery cables to the battery terminals and make sure everything is tightened properly.
If you have a bad relay (the fan worked with the bypass) then you should be able to get one form your local auto parts store and replace it. This should resolve the issue.
If the fan did not turn on, even with the bypass wires in place, replace the fan motor and you should be good.

The tail lights are usually on the same fuse as your dash lights. Check to see if you have tail lights. If they are on and it's only your dash lights that don't work, check the dash dimmer switch for a fault.
