OT Mondeo dash lights not working

OT, and asking for a friend, but this forum is the fountain of all knowledge.
Ford Mondeo, the dash lights have packed up, including the centre consol and stereo lights. All other electrics seem to be working.
He has checked all the fuses on the main board and says they are fine.
Are there any other fuses hidden anywhere, or would it be relay related?
Or does anyone know where these lights are connected, so we can possibly get to the plug to check pinout voltage?

Thanks for any help.

ALL of the lights? inc warning lights, like brakes, abs, battery, oil pressure etc? or just back lights (like the ones that come on when you switch the sidelights on?)

Sorry, I meant the ones that are switched on with the sidelight circuit only. Warning lights are still OK

also from pdf manual file.

"The main fusebox, which also
carries some relays, is located inside the
vehicle below the facia panel on the
passenger’s side, and is accessed by a lever
behind the glovebox"
