    Does the radio still work? Did you check fuses?

    The radio backlight bulb is probably burned out. They are no more than $7 and about 30-45 minutes to change it.
    The DIC could be a couple of things. Could be burned out backlight bulbs (3 of them) or a bad circuit in the ignition switch. If the blower fan for the heat/AC works then it's burned out bulbs.

    My DIC doesn't work either. how can I tell if the bulbs are bad or not and where can I buy them. I'm guessing they are tiny.

    Door chime will chime if the light switch is unplugged. Give it a check to make sure it has good connections.

    Please elaborate on AC doesn't work.
    Blower work?
    No cold Air?
    No hot air?
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I checked the plug and its good. All my exterior light work except my DRL and fog light. When I turn on the head light none of the DIC lights come on and nether does my AC blower. I swaped out mu ING 1 relay with another (same like) one and still the same issue. And my TCS light stay on no matter what.
