     Check the headlight switch, this could be the source of the problem.

Thanks to everyone you mailed me and welcomed me to the Quattro list 
the other day.  I now have a problem with my 1989 Audi Coupe that I 
hope someone can help me with.
     
All the back-lighting lamps in the main instrument panel, heater 
controls and auxiliary instrument panel have died.  As they all went 
together it would indicate that a fuse has blown, rather than bulb 
failure.  The fuse (which also protects other circuits) in the main 
fuse box is OK.
     
Does anyone know where I should check next ?
Are there any hidden in-line fuses that protect this circuit ? 
Could it be the connection to the side light circuit that activates 
the instrument panel lighting and if so, where is this connection 
made ?
