climate control buttons and *****

track control and hazard buttons
auto shifter selector indicator
overhead convertible up down switch
headlight ****

These still illuminate:
window switches
door lock switches
guages (dimmer works here)
radio (dimmer works here)

There is no fuse for illumination, and all fuses look good anyways. Looking at the wiring diagrams, it looks like there is something wrong with the smart junction box itself. If the headlight switch was to blame, then the guages and the radio would not work either I figure.

Ideas? I need help.
